Mrs. Shanthi Rajmohan of TANKER Foundation shared her experience as a First Responder in an online session conducted by Solidarity Foundation, Bengaluru, and Banyan Academy of Leadership in Mental Health (BALM), Kovalam, Saturday, June 15, 2024.

The meeting was to release online a ‘Training Manual on Mental Health Aid by First Responders for the LGBTQIA+ Community’.

According to the organisers, Mrs. Shanthi Rajmohan spoke as a first responder in helping patients and their caregivers giving hope when they are on dialysis. The course seemed to have helped her sharpen her listening skills, remarked the organisers.

Mrs. Shanthi Rajmohan, who has done the First Responders course conducted by BALM, has been on CAPD for nearly 20 years.

But the irrepressible MBA degree-holder has not let her physical condition curtail her business activities and she has turned into an entrepreneur. She lately took up farming, too.
