| About Us |
Since 1993 The Banyan has been an integral part of the chain
of care for people with mental illness in Chennai. The projects have changed the
lives of over 5,000 people by providing services to support them in reaching
their definition of recovery:
-
Care with a human touch: ensuring
effective treatment with a model that combines medication and
rehabilitation: psychological therapies, vocational training, occupational
therapy and reintegration with communities.
-
Treatment close to home: to encourage
those with mental illness and their care givers to seek professional help by
making the process easy and accessible.
-
Assistance for the whole family: to
relieve the resource burden of a mentally ill relative both physically and
financially and to ensure effective care at home.
-
Understanding & awareness for change:
sensitizing communities, schools, Panchayats, government bodies and other
stakeholders to encourage a change within policy and civil society that
allows those with mental illness to live lives of their choosing in dignity
and respect.
