Psychological Support

The psychological support sector within India is not well developed or even thoroughly understood (with some notable exceptions) compared to that of more developed countries. As a consequence it is often an area that is completely ignored or not even considered for implementation.

This is of great concern to the Savitri Trust as psychological health needs play a very important role in a person’s well-being, particularly people who are ill or institutionalised.

There are two areas to consider when assessing psychological support, one is a counselling service for every day needs and the second is for those cases who require in-depth psychiatric assistance.
