Events
We at Whaterr believe in living an eventful life, and we make sure that our calendar is packed with events that can add value to your lives. We organize events for both mental health professionals so that they can provide their services with greater efficacy and other professionals to help them upskill themselves while networking with fellow participants who share similar goals.
Following is our lineup of upcoming events:
Therapeutic Foundations and Applications
One pain point that many young mental health professionals have shared is that there is a gap between what is theoretically taught in colleges and what the practical application of the same looks like in real life. So to address this concern, we have collaborated with Mining Mind (an initiative by Aditi Rawat), and we bring to you Therapeutic Foundations and Applications, a training program that bridges the gap between theory and practical application in the field of mental health care.
This is a 36-hour intensive training program specially designed for psychology students and early-career MHPs to experience a sense of readiness to apply their knowledge in the field. This program is also open to experienced professionals who want to revise their skills.

Research Forum 2.0
Research is the foundation of understanding reality; however, most people either have a limited understanding of research or have an aversion towards it. Researchers who do undertake research projects are often found to be engaging in quantitative research. While this form of research has its own merits, when it comes to understanding the nuances of the human mind, we need an approach that acknowledges but also respects the subjective realities of individuals. Research Forum is a joint initiative by Whaterr Solutions and Mysl by Jagrati Tyagi to address this very vacuum that prevails in the world of research.
This program aims at helping research enthusiasts and researchers develop a strong foundation of qualitative research. This program not only focuses on the technicalities of research but also dives deep into the philosophies guiding the process of research.

Core Connection
Communication is a core element in the therapeutic journey; asking the right questions, efficiently articulating one's thoughts as a therapist, ensuring both the therapist and the client are on the same page, ensuring that the "how" of the communication is aligned to the "where," "when," and "whom" while being mindful of the "why," and being able to understand what the client is trying to convey can be a make-or-break factor. Core Connection is an intensive training program intended to help mental health practitioners, especially those who are starting their practice fresh, to learn the nuances of effective communication in a therapeutic setting. It is a joint initiative of Whaterr Solutions and Emotions Etc, an intiative by Nirali Min.
The program emphasizes the practical aspects of therapy over theoretical knowledge, focusing on essential microskills such as active listening, empathy-building, probing, and constructing open-ended questions. Participants will gain hands-on experience through interactive activities, roleplays, and group discussions, preparing them for real-world therapeutic scenarios.
