Summary
Manas Foundation is a mental health, non profit organization which has been operating in Delhi for the last 14 years.Key program components
Manas' work over the past 14 years has focused on women and children from a wide array of communities, including the destitute, those in conflict with the law, and others. Manas understand mental health needs are diverse and span a wide spectrum of ages, social contexts and family structures. Manas aids those suffering from depression, anxiety, and mood and personality disorders, troubled relationships, behavioral disorders, learning disabilities (specifically in children), restlessness, mental exhaustion, de-motivation, and social isolation. The experts at Manas handle such cases through specialized clinical services like psychometric or diagnostic assessments, psychotherapy, child guidance, individual and family counselling, behavior therapy, psychiatric treatment and rehabilitation. The three critical aspects of Manas' approach to mental health include: • Understanding mental health from a psycho-social perspective. • Demonstrating the linkages between mental health, discrimination, poverty and access to justice. • De-stigmatizing mental health issues and creating both a demand and a supply for mental health care among the most marginalized communities of India.
