Balee Sena’s Health Program

 

Balee Sena’s Health interventions improve access to quality healthcare services for the poor and marginalized communities. By identifying the root causes of healthcare challenges, we work at the individual, community, and systemic levels to develop innovative solutions and help implement quality healthcare services. The ambit of our work includes improving maternal and reproductive health, child health and nutrition, and early identification and treatment of communicable diseases.

     MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

 

Mental illness is still a taboo concept in India and there is a lot of social and cultural reservation around accessing mental health services. In case of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA), the individuals are further stigmatized. There is a broad variety of practical, cultural, individual, and family-related barriers that restrict initialization and adherence to therapy and counselling. It takes a lot of courage for the survivors of sexual abuse to take the first step towards healing. However, when they garner the courage, their stories offer hope and inspiration to many others to come forward. So far, we have supported the healing journey of so many children, adolescents, adult survivors, family members and caregivers by providing psychoeducation/counseling and psycho-social intervention. Counselling at Balee Sena aims at supporting the healing journey of children and adult survivors and helping them attend psycho-social stability.
