WHO WE ARE
Manas Foundation is a national, non-profit working with diverse communities of women, men, adolescents, and children. We innovate plug-in models to embed mental health seamlessly within health, education and residential homes for care and protection. Our journey of almost two decades paved way for us to pioneer a comprehensive approach integrating mental health and gender justice. This model engages men at scale to bring a positive shift in attitudes and practices towards gender equality and ending violence against women.
WHAT WE DO
Through our positive, psychosocial and client centric approaches we provide direct mental health services for individuals and groups across the lifespan. We use evidence-based techniques of counseling, assessment, and therapy to support clients in redressal and prevention of mental health concerns. We conduct awareness and capacity building programmes for communities and institutions to develop local and accessible support systems for mental health. Our initiatives aim at breaking the stigma around mental health and promote help-seeking behavior amongst individuals and communities.
Our gender justice programme builds cadre of sensitive commercial vehicle drivers, police personnel and corporate sector employees. We conduct workshops with them on gender, diversity and violence against women. Our programme is long term in which we share knowledge and awareness with men to challenge gender norms and bring positive personal change in mindsets and behaviours. Using innovative techniques like support group sessions, home visits and scholarships for their daughters we reengage with participants to deepen and sustain positive shifts.
