Community Mental Health Project

Community Mental Health Project

Started on: 14th June 2018

The Community Mental Health Project was initiated with the objective to provide sustainable basic mental health services to the community, ensuring early detection, treatment, and rehabilitation of mental health patients within their own communities. This reduces stigma, improves access, and promotes long-term well-being, particularly in remote and tribal areas served by the Society.
