Open Door Ananda

Being alone is okay, being lonely is not.

Oftentimes, adults find themselves alone with their feelings and emotions with no one to listen to them. Sharing your emotions with a non-judgemental, empathetic person is always helpful. Therefore, we at Ananda are lending you our listening ear. A 30-minute call with our Support Group volunteer will ensure you emotional relief. These calls are free of cost and can be scheduled online according to your convenience.
