India: Bringing mental health support to Kashmir

Since 2001, MSF has been offering free, high-quality counselling services to individuals in Kashmir. Our dedicated teams currently operate in hospitals across four districts: Baramulla, Bandipora, Pulwama, and Srinagar. To tackle the stigma surrounding mental illness, MSF actively works to raise awareness about the importance of mental health and the necessity for accessible mental health services in the region.

Introducing our Mobile Response Team (MRT): a committed group consisting of a compassionate driver, a community healthcare member, and a counsellor, all working together to deliver support directly to the community!

Every day, our teams are on the ground, monitoring social media, exploring daily print media, and keeping up with electronic updates to identify families in crisis.

Watch as our remarkable team members illuminate our mental health care initiatives, spread awareness, and extend a helping hand to those in need throughout the valley.

MSF has been providing free, high-quality counselling to people affected in the valley since 2001. Currently, our teams provide counselling services at hospitals in four districts: Shopian, Pulwama, Tral and Srinagar. To combat the stigma associated with mental illness, MSF teams also raise awareness on the importance of mental health and the need for availability of mental health services in the valley. The project is increasingly providing mental health care to more people, closer to their communities.
