A Visionary Movement To Build Strong Families - CSR
MAI initiates a holistic approach to community well-being by extending its “Family Counselling Services” to the general public, fostering mental health and support for families in need through its project SAB.
The visionary movement initiated by MAI; SAB, is centred around fostering stronger families and building enduring relationships, is indeed commendable. The commitment to enhancing family unity through the 'Building Strong Families' initiative reflects a holistic approach aimed at creating nurturing environments where every family member feels valued, supported, and connected.
Expanding beyond the digital realm to integrate physical awareness programs is a significant step forward. Offering hands-on support to those in need, with a specific focus on the health and well-being of family relationships, underscores a genuine dedication to making a tangible impact on individuals' lives.
Through impactful awareness campaigns, both online and offline, MAI - SAB has the potential to become a beacon of hope for families seeking guidance and support. By fostering a sense of unity, understanding, and resilience within families, this movement can contribute significantly to building a more compassionate and cohesive society.
As the initiative progresses, it will be essential to maintain a steadfast commitment to the core values of empathy, inclusivity, and empowerment. By staying true to these principles, SAB can continue to inspire positive change and make a lasting difference in the lives of countless families.
Why Build Strong Families?

SAB's primary objective is to raise awareness about the critical importance of nurturing strong bonds within diverse family dynamics. Whether it involves the relationship between a mother and daughter, father and son, husband and wife, or any other familial connection, we highlight the significance of strengthening these bonds. We firmly believe that a healthy family serves as the cornerstone of a prosperous nation. A well-supported child excels in learning, exudes positivity, and ultimately contributes to building a stronger society. Likewise, a well-supported spouse functions effectively in their professional life, fosters positive relationships with colleagues, and enhances overall productivity. A family with clear communication and a foundation of trust flourishes and serves as an exemplary model for society.
Primary Objective
- Ensure that family counselling services are easily accessible to individuals and families, removing barriers such as financial constraints or geographical limitations.
- Provide comprehensive mental health support that addresses the diverse needs of families, including emotional, psychological, and relational aspects.
- Tailor family counselling services to be culturally sensitive and inclusive, recognizing and respecting diverse backgrounds and belief systems.
- Develop and implement programs that focus on early identification and intervention within families to prevent escalation and promote timely support.
- Offer workshops and resources to enhance family members' coping skills, communication, and conflict resolution abilities, contributing to the overall well-being of the family unit.
- Establish measurable objectives and evaluation criteria to assess the effectiveness of family counselling interventions, continually refining and improving services based on feedback and outcomes.
Founder’s Principle
Our founder GMS lives by the principle, "Live a Life That Makes a Difference”. His vision to start mental health support as a social cause stems from a combination of personal experiences, empathy, and a recognition of the pressing societal need for better mental health care. GMS likely recognized that there is a considerable unmet need for external assistance through professional counselling within the community or society at large. His ideal thoughts convey that personal experiences with conditions like anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues can deeply impact one’s perspective about life. His vision is driven by a strong commitment to making a positive and lasting impact on the lives of individuals and families while reducing the stigma associated with mental health issues within family surroundings.
Long Term Vision
With a relentless commitment to our cause, SAB aspires to expand its influence globally. We aim to reach out to those who suffer silently, providing assistance and support to families in need worldwide. By creating a global network of like-minded individuals and organisations, SAB envisions becoming a beacon of hope for families seeking guidance and support.
