Manya Bhatia is a 16 year old 11 grader passionate about psychology, entrepreneurship and literature. Her journey towards founding Psycholve began with her morning meditation sessions at the park with her grandparents where she noticed many senior citizens lacking family interaction. This lead her to develop Psycholve, a non profit dedicated to fostering empathy and resilience among teenagers through workshops and experiments while also conducting structured activities with senior citizens especially those with no families.

Our mission is to inspire and equip youth with the tools to foster empathy and resilience, engage in meaningful intergenerational connections, and drive positive change through psychological education and community service.

THE FIRST STEP OF OUR JOURNEY- A PSYCHOLOGY LAB

We began our journey of change right within our school,starting with a neglected room that we’ve now transformed into something special: our very own psychology lab. This is where we conduct interactive psychological experiments and lessons to cultivate the necessary values required to bridge intergenerational gap with teenagers. It is a space where we ask questions and discover new things about ourselves and the inner workings of our brain. We’ve not only created a physical space,but also a symbol of our commitment to Psycholve. With the help of our school, we were able to take the first step of our journey.
