Impact & National Contributions

Name and other details changed to protect identity

Supreet has led one of India's largest empirical studies on incest abuse within families; work that continues to shape Shaping Destiny's trauma-informed, safeguarding-first approach.

Commissioned by the Chandigarh Commission for Protection of Child Rights (CCPCR), she designed and led a city-wide behavioural study on peer pressure among adolescents, deepening the understanding of youth mental health that informs the practice's work with younger clients.

As a Core Committee Member (Mental Health) with the Chandigarh Citizens Foundation, she continues developing community mental health initiatives for older adults, extending Shaping Destiny's ethos of care across every stage of life.

Ethics & Governance

Integrity and accountability sit at the heart of Shaping Destiny, mirrored in Supreet's governance roles:

Internal Complaints Committee (ICC), IISER Mohali: Safeguarding institutional wellbeing and protecting students and employees
Fortis Healthcare Ethics Committee: Supporting ethical research practices
Joint Internal Committee for POSH, across six government departments

These responsibilities reflect a standard of ethical care Supreet brings directly into Shaping Destiny's own practice.

Leadership, Advocacy & Recognition

Supreet's leadership extends into humanitarian and community service, reinforcing Shaping Destiny's belief that mental healthcare and community wellbeing are deeply connected

Paul Harris Fellow, Rotary International recognition for exemplary humanitarian and community service
Board Member, Association of British Scholars (India)
Board Member, Can & Will Foundation

At the heart of Shaping Destiny is a simple belief: exceptional mental healthcare should be evidence-based, deeply personal, and delivered with dignity, compassion and respect for lasting transformation.
