Psycho-Social Rehabilitation of mentally ill women

The mentally ill women from the impoverished and disadvantaged sections of our society, who mostly are neglected, despised and often tortured as unwanted beings in the society. This mindset, far too often determined the isolation and segregation of the mentally ill. They were commonly incarcerated as Non Criminal Lunatics (NCLs) in jails or kept in the mental asylums, where the living conditions were appalling and hardly any treatment or counselling was given to them.  

The need to bring about a change in their woeful existence to a socially productive life motivates this project. 

Paripurnata seeks to bring about a change in the wretched existence of these women, by intervention through psycho-social rehabilitation process. The process comprises medico therapy, socio-cultural therapies and occupational therapies structured to assist them to pick up the lost pieces of their lives.

Paripurnata attempts to achieve its goal through its residential programme in a setting known internationally as a Halfway-Home, so named because it is perceived as the mid-point in a person’s journey from her place of confinement to her natural home.

At Paripurnata, they undergo the residential rehabilitation programme for a duration spanning from eight to twelve months. On successful completion of the programme, the beneficiaries are rehabilitated with their families / communities.

On successful completion of the programme, the beneficiaries are rehabilitated in the society.

We wish to create a secured, hygienic, cheerful and above all a humane ambience at the halfway Home which will enables them to strive to lead as socially productive human beings with dignity. Our curriculum also attempts to empower them with social skills and enhance their employability.
