Shreeom Mishra created Calmden with the dream of making it a safe place where people can freely express themselves and feel heard.

I try my best to take most of the one on one sessions myself but when I'm unable to, a group of empathetic and good listeners do the job.

I want Calmden to be accessible to everyone because I want to make a safe space for people where they can express themselves.

No, the users on Calmden are not trained professionals. We provide a platform for individuals to anonymously vent and share their thoughts and feelings with others who may be experiencing similar issues. We are empathetic and good listeners but we encourage our users to seek out licensed therapists or mental health professionals for more personalized and specialized assistance.

We have various volunteers from a wide educational background, i.e. science, arts and commerce. Most of the volunteers are college and high-school students.
