Stream Of Solidarity: Dr. Ishani Rao

How do we take care of ourselves and prevent activism burn-out? Or in the words of Dr. Ishani Rao, “systematic failures to adequately support compassionate individuals”. As we grow fonder of our activist families, tension and friction can rise with in our those we know outside of activism. Which can lead to poor mental health. Dr. Rao is a GP trainee and emergency doctor with a keen interest in humanitarian and conservation medicine. She is the founder of Buckets of Love, which fundraises for wonderful charities whilst having a lot of fun. Dr Rao has hosted several NHS talks to promote a vegan menu in hospitals and in large organisations. Her interactive mental health panels at Vegan Camp Out have been incredibly well received.
