In Kerala, about 11.36% of the total population is affected by mental disorders, including schizophrenia and other depressive disorders. This figure is almost double the national prevalence of 6%. The knowledge, practices and policies regarding mental health within the state are at a nascent stage. Access to counselling care and psychiatric services is limited. Thus, there is a need to look at a multi-pronged approach which involves providing information regarding mental health services and allows for access to mental health services. There is also a need for a community awareness programme that helps build a community sensitive and empathetic to the cause. These together will encourage an individual to seek help early allowing for mitigating and reducing the harms related to mental health through greater understanding and help-seeking behaviour
Three critical services will be provided
1. Run a monthly counselling and psychiatry clinic on OWT premises
2. Follow up with home care where medication is provided to clients by health professionals
3. Conduct awareness classes on common mental disorders with grassroots health workers, influencers, and members of the community.
