What is a sustainable way of ensuring quality mental health services for those living in semi-urban & rural areas in India? The answer is to go local! The Atmiyata project by @CMHLPIndia is a community-based mental health model serving 500 villages in Mehsana district Gujarat.
The Atmiyata project uses videos uploaded on smartphones to train volunteers as community mobilizers to promote well-being, detect cases of stress/ distress, provide counseling support, and apply referral and follow-up techniques. #mentalhealthmatters #communitymentalhealth
The model is replicable & can be adapted in every State in the country since the resources are being cultivated locally.
