About the Guest:
Sagar Sachdeva has worked in the development sector for four years towards building spaces and processes that facilitate dialogues on gender and masculinities among young men.

This series is hosted by Saransh Bisht, mental health collective associate at Belongg. They are also a mental health practitioner who works extensively with queer persons on various psycho-social themes. In 2019 they co-founded queer listening circle to enable healing spaces among community spaces.

What is Crossroads in Therapy Podcast?
In this podcast, we will look at therapy through the lens of intersectionality in terms of gender, race, caste, sexuality, disability, religion, and more. Each episode features one or more experts experienced in tackling mental health challenges faced by marginalised identities. Through this podcast, we hope to bring greater attention to how identity both drives unique mental health needs and requires special approaches in therapy.
