A new mental health service for those who don't have any access

Mental Health care is a costly affair. Here is something that may fill the gap for the needy who can't afford it:

-----------
A new initiative launched by Saarthak and The Hans Foundation is:
Khushhali Manasik Swasthya Sewa

  - to provide mental health services to those who do not have any access. 
 Its aim is to provide free and accessible mental health services across Delhi NCR.

The team providing the service would include two senior psychiatrists, two senior clinical psychologists, social workers, counselors and volunteers.


Services will address the universal mental health needs:

Skill building workshops on:
  1. Managing Anger
  2. Challenging Negative Thoughts
  3. Parenting
  4. The Success Factor (A life skills program for young people)
  5. Sahas ka Safar (A support group for women coping with psychological impact of Domestic Violence)

Services would also address the needs of those people who live with Major Psychiatric Disorders, Common Mental Disorders and Alcohol Dependence

Phone: Maneesha/ Shakti on 011 8800599204 (Monday to Saturday between to 10 to 5.30pm)


People can also walk in to the service on Fridays between 3 to 6pm at AADI, 2 Balbir Saxena Marg, Hauz Khas, Near green Park Metro Station.

-----------
Only time will tell how this new initiative will make an impact for the mental health care landscape.
