Lissun, Child first mental health platforms has announced a strategic partnership with The Association of Adolescent and Child Care in India (AACCI) to strengthen India’s ecosystem for child and adolescent mental wellness. The collaboration brings together Lissun’s expertise in neuro developmental challenges and digital therapy capabilities with AACCI’s grassroots outreach and life-skills programs to build capacity, enable early detection, and provide structured support for children facing developmental challenges, and their caregivers across schools and communities. The partnership also looks at addressing emotional wellness challenges for teens and adolescents.
The partnership is anchored in a shared mission to equip parents, teachers, and counselors with the right tools, guidance, and frameworks to identify and address developmental and emotional needs early. Lissun and AACCI will jointly execute large-scale screening, counselling, and awareness initiatives across schools and communities, supported by structured referral pathways to Lissun’s digital platforms and Sunshine by Lissun centres. This integrated approach strengthens capacity on the ground while ensuring timely access to affordable behavioural and developmental support.
Dr Krishna Veer Singh, Co-founder and CEO, Lissun, said, “Research shows early intervention is the single biggest factor that defines long term outcomes for children with neuro developmental challenges. Our partnership with AACCI allows us to combine clinical depth with community-based support systems, ensuring families can access high-quality guidance when they need it most. We are committed to making early intervention mainstream and helping India’s young population grow with confidence, resilience, and acceptance.”
Dr Swati Bhave, Executive Director, AACCI, said, “Our vision is to help children achieve resilience and thrive by strengthening the support structures around them. This collaboration enhances access to professional guidance and allows parental and educational ecosystems to play an active role in mental health. We look forward to bringing evidence-driven awareness and emotional support to families across geographies.”
