There is a lot of ignorance regarding mental illness in the Indian society. Persons with mental disabilities and their families still experience stigma and discrimination on a daily basis. Many people have internalized the stigma, and are afraid to voice their concerns or seek support.
Creating awareness and dissemination of information on different aspects of mental health is one of our key areas of work. We have organised seminars, and webinars and ensured media coverage on mental health issues in the Chandigarh tricity region.
