We raise awareness

• Mental health problems and illnesses are as important as any physical illnesses.
• Anyone can experience mental health problems during their lifetime—from anxiety and depression to self-harm and suicidal thoughts.
• With proper treatment, people experiencing mental health problems can and should be productive members of society.

We improve access

• to diagnosis and treatment;
• to knowledge about mental health issues, symptoms, and treatments; and
• to support groups.

We advocate

We work with governments, educational, institutions, businesses, civil society, and media to:

• Build support for applying necessary solutions to mental health challenges in India;
• Bring to bear best practices to address mental health issues;
• Raise awareness and fight stigma; and  
• Create partnerships through which the impact of our efforts can be multiplied.
  

Paid Video Consultations Pilot Programme

• The Vandrevala Foundation is planning a pilot for paid consultations to help psychotherapists
  build a practice of fee-paying patients.
• This is not meant to replace our free services, which will still be available via phone, email and chat.
• Our hope is that some of our patients who can afford to will value these services and be willing to pay for them.
• Since mental health is no different from physical health and mental problems and illnesses are treatable, anyone suffering from a mental illness should be treated with dignity
