Free Services

Free Mental Health camps

Being in the area of mental health, our mission is to make psychiatric treatment available to most underprivileged slum dwellers of Hyderabad and Secunderabad.

roshini Trust created an awareness program to help people living in underprivileged communities to be able to identify symptoms of mental illness to rid the taboos associated with it. We run two free psychiatric camps at Ramakrishna Math and roshini counselling centre, where consultation, counseling and free medicines are dispensed. Every fortnight there is a review by the psychiatrist and ongoing medicines are provided

Psychiatry at Your Doorstep

Being in the area of mental health, our mission is to make psychiatric treatment available to most underprivileged slum dwellers of Hyderabad and Secunderabad.

 To facilitate this, we have a psychiatric group consisting of a psychiatrist, a counsellor, and a coordinator to dispense medicines. To be able to reach out to new areas other than the already existing centres and furrow into the interiors, a van equipped with medicines and the above staff travel to underprivileged slum areas – Psychiatry at Your Doorstep. 

 This enables professional help to reach the doorstep of those who cannot be transported to the hospital, being weak, too old, the geriatric, the violent and aggressive and the underprivileged.

The dedicated home care team travels and not only attends to physical problems such as severe pain, breathlessness, malignant wounds, ascites, but also provides skilled psycho social and spiritual support.

roshini Recreation centre

In 2021, we identified the need for a recreation centre for senior citizens, a previously unexplored area. Studies have shown that senior citizens, a significant part of our community if engaged in recreational groups and socially supported physical activity can overcome stress, anxiety and depression, and mitigate the symptoms of Alzheimer‘s disease. Activities like simple stretches, yoga, board games, fun loving activities, laughter exercises, musical games etc. are part of the routine. To enable the participant to keep abreast with topics on various issues, eminent guest speakers are invited to make presentations on geriatric subjects like nutrition, dementia, positive thinking and coping with age related stress and physical issues.
