Since 2013 the Mental Health Care Centre (MHCC) has been providing OPD services to differently abled patients suffering from various mental ailments at a very subsidized cost. We also provide free medicines to the poor & needy patients visiting the Centre. Presently we are averaging over 100 patients per month. We have equipped our Centre with most advanced machines like Bio Feedback and EEG (Electro Encephalo Graphy).
Apart from a qualifies Clinical Psychologist and a Psychiatrist, we also have a Yoga Teacher who helps the patients through yoga therapy. The services of the Psychiatrist and Clinical Psychologist are also used to organize a large number of Camps/ Awareness Programmes in JJ Colonies and Slums. Visits are also organized to various Schools and Colleges to create awareness regarding mental ailments which are not easily recognizable amongst Children and Youth.
Our Centre is fully equipped with all psychological test materials to do various psychological assessments relating to children and adults including Comprehensive Neuropsychological Assessment. Apart from the assessment and psychological management of Intellectual Disability, Developmental Disorders, and Emotional and Behavioural Problems in children and adolescents, clinical psychologists have extensive experience in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Inter-Personal Therapy (IPT), and Family Therapy.
