I'm Prina Shah, the driving force behind this transformative journey. With over six years of specialised experience in deal advisory across diverse sectors within a prominent corporate firm, I've witnessed firsthand the global impact of Presenteeism over Absenteeism.

Recognising the critical need for proactive mental health strategies in the corporate world, I took action. Motivated by the profound connection between mental well-being and organisational success, I spearheaded a highly successful Health and Wellbeing program within my department. This experience, coupled with my passion for mental health advocacy, ignited the creation of Patterns of the Mind.

Moreover, leveraging my financial due diligence skills acquired over six years, I facilitate businesses in understanding the cost impact of mental health issues on labor costs. This involves identifying the influence of absenteeism rates, turnover costs, healthcare expenditures related to mental health, and other financial indicators affected by mental health challenges.
