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:
- Managing
Anger

- The
Success Factor (A life skills program for young people)

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
