Our Approach

We believe that awareness plays a critical role in supporting People with Mental Illnesses (PWMIs) through our Community Mental Health program.

We achieve this through:

  • Mental Health Training
  • Mental Health-themed Wall Art
  • Street Exhibitions
  • Stress & Stress Management Training
  • Televised awareness program

School & College Awareness Program

We conduct stress management training in schools to support students suffering from the stress of examinations, peer competition, and managing the expectations of their parents. Our sessions are conducted by experts and trained personnel from the field. We also sensitise teachers on the importance of encouraging students to voice their concerns.

‍

Residential Training Program

We conduct a 4-day residential training program for PWMIs and their caregivers. The training involves many informative and engaging activities to help participants better understand the challenges of living with disability and the means to overcome them.
