Frequent communication with patients and their families, and counselling for those in need. These people need long-term, and sometimes life-long, treatment.
There is great improvement in many of those who are under care they lead a normal family life with regular medication.

We have a day-care centre for those who are alone at home when their family members are at work. They are brought to the centre, where they undertake different activities, and taken back home in the evening. Their social relationships have improved, as they take part in different activities led by some voluntary workers.

Year 2020 – year of Pandemia Covid -19 regular dispensary programs stopped by March due to lockdown situation. Psychiatric medicines were made available to the persons under treatment, through volunteers and other health workers.
