Youth in our country are struggling on multiple fronts including access to education, health, livelihoods. These struggles are further compounded due to poverty. This creates conditions for poor mental health. @SNEHAmumbai 's EHSAS program has imp solutions for this issue.
EHSAS builds resilience in the youth via sessions on health and hygiene, gender equity, sexuality, and employability. Adolescents learn collectively through Information Communication Technology (ICT) tools such as theatre, film making, and poster/comic strips designing.
The program also addresses adolescent’s mental health by providing counseling services and referrals to public healthcare facilities. #youthmentalhealth#youthempowerment
EHSAS will run in low-income, urban slums within Mumbai over the next three years and will service 2500 adolescents and youth, 1250 parents, and 100 public health personnel from across five health posts in Dharavi, Mumbai. #youthmentalhealth

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.
