The 10th of October 2014 – World Mental Health Day – would certainly be a landmark for all mental health stakeholders in India, as we became one of the few countries in the world with a ‘National Mental Health Policy’. We appreciate the quality of the content of this document, and pray that the dictums are translated to reality at the implementation level.

A policy document for ‘rehabilitation of homeless persons with mental illnesses’ adopted by the Assam Government over a year back, unique in the country, is yet to receive its due recognition from the rest of the country. Implementation of the Standard Operating Procedure under this protocol has been initiated, but progress has been slow. We are hopeful that with a gradual increase in participation of the implementing partners both from the Government and Civil society, better outcome would be achieved in the foreseeable future.

On another note, it is obviousthat like any other state in India, the state health machinery of Assam has limited mental health resources. To ill up the gaps in meeting the needs of an estimated load of over 3 lakh people with mental health needs, our Community Mental Health Programmes in Sipajhar, Mayong and Boko blocks are being implemented in conjunction with the local PHCs and NGOs. These pilot initiatives have been able to touch a population of over 2.5 lakhs, and we express our appreciation to the Tata Trusts for their support in this area.

The primary focus of Ashadeep’s work in recent years has been on the economically or geographically marginalized. But perhaps many will agree with me that to cope with a mental disorder, economic capacity may not be much of an advantage, more so in a state like Assam where we have just 2 private Psychiatric Nursing Homes for a population of more than 3 crores. I would stick my neck out and say that the middle and upper classes have got access to much limited facilities than the economically lower sections. In this context, the proposed creation of an infrastructure for Ashadeep to set up a modern Psychiatric Institution would de initely help in creating a necessary mental health resource. We salute the eff orts of Mr. Ashok Jhuria who is building this infrastructure for Ashadeep with his own resources, single handedly. MrJhuria has experienced mental illness from very close quarters in the past, and this is his contribution to the cause.

As one of the founding members of the organization, I salute the commitment of members of the staff at Ashadeep. Their tireless eff orts have helped the organization make a diff erence in the lives of many. Finally,I would like to thank all individuals, our donors and well wishers who relentlessly supported us in our endeavor.

An Overview

Who We AreTreading through the

upheaval task of

providing care to persons with mental

disorders at a time when there was a

lacuna in psycho-social rehabilitation

services, a few family caregivers

initiated Ashadeep in the year 1996 in

Guwahati. From a humble beginning

of providing day care services for

persons with mental disorders,

Ashadeep has expanded its services

which range from rehabilitation of

homeless persons with mental illness

and creating access to mental health

services in remote regions of Assam.

At an organizational level, the number

of team members at Ashadeep has

grown from mere 5 in 1996 to 88 in

2015 which includes ield workers,

residential health care staff , special

educators, vocational trainers, social

workers, psychologist, psychiatrists,

managerial staff , administrative and

accounts.

What We DoProvide Rehabilitation Services to persons with mental disorders in Assam based on their ‘contextual needs’;

-Create Access to mental health interventions for the socially, economically and geographically marginalized groups of the society

-Facilitate Collaborative Approach towards mental health through advocacy among various government & non-government agencies, corporates, civil society bodies and the public.

How we do Moving beyond the clinical model of treatment for persons with

mental disorders, Ashadeep strives to intervene with the psycho-

social aspects of the issue. The aim is to mainstream this long

neglected issue and thereby work towards ensuring the rights of

persons with mental disorders. We try to reach our goals through the

following initiatives-- Day Rehabilitation Centre - Rehabilitation Homes for Homeless Persons with Mental Illness.

- Outdoor Psychiatric Clinic- Community Mental Health Programmes- Counseling Services (face to face & telephonic)- Resource Centre

Children and Adults with Intellectual Disability and Associated Disorders & Persons with mental illness

Highlights-• JayantaGoswami and

AnudhritiSaikia of Ashadeep Day Care Center were felicitated by Guwahati University on the occasion of World Disability Day.

• 6 students of Ashadeep attended training camp on roller skates organized by Special Olympics Bharat, in Shillong, Meghalaya.

• Noted Philantrophists under the banner of Karunadhara joined hands with Ashadeep in organizing a ‘Sports Day’ on the occasion of ‘World Disability Day’ to provide a platform for differently -abled children in showcasing their talents.

• A one of its kind ‘art and craft’ activity was organized for the students and their caregivers and family members on 22nd and 23rd December 2014. Experts from Pidilite Industries Pvt Ltd gave training on tie and dye, paper making, etc.

• It was yet another moment of pride as KabirPritamBaruah, was selected to represent India at Special Olympics- World Summer Games to be held in Los Angeles in August, 2015.

• As part of our efforts to create a common platform for mainstreaming differently abled children a workshop on ‘Fun with drama’, was organized where students from regular schools like St. Stephens, BalBharati shared the stage with the students of day care centre.

Day Rehabilitation CentreInitiated in 1996 with the aim of catering to the needs of persons recovering from mental illness, this centre gradually started catering to children and adults with intellectual disability as there was a huge gap between services available and needs for this section of the populace

The Sheltered Workshop of Ashadeep is a unique concept where vocational training and skill building is provided to persons with mental illness and adults with intellectual disability. The concept of ‘Peer Learning’ is inculcated here along with facilitation of income generation.

Highlights of the Year-Navachetana Home-• Along with psychiatric treatment,

general health is an important part of rehabilitation. Resident Sunaina Devi underwent eye cataract surgery for both her eyes at Lion’s Eye Hospital in March 2015. Another resident SunainaTiwari was provided with hearing aid for her poor hearing.

Udayan Home• A large scale plantation drive was

carried out in the campus with support from Mahindra Finance and District Forest Department.

• The vocational unit was diversifi ed as resident Pranjit knitted colourful woolen caps and bamboo stool making was revived.

Persons with Mental Illness who are Homeless

• Rehabilitation Homes for Homeless Women with Mental Illness- Navachetana Home

• Rehabilitation Homes for Homeless Men with Mental Illness-Udayan Home

In these homes a person who is often seen as an extension of the piles of garbage strewn across streets is provided with the opportunity of recreating his/her life which had been lost due to the illness.

Yet another chapter was added to the daring ventures that go in the reintegration of homeless persons rehabilitated at Ashadeep when Dulal, the irst admission of Udayan was taken for reintegration. A large crowd gathering is normal each time a woman or man is taken back to the community after being untraceable for years. However, Joseph and his team were in for a shock when they found themselves in the midst of a crowd which was close to turning into a violent mob. In October 2014, Social Worker Joseph along with health care attendants Pratap and Bimal had gone to Dharmanagar near Agartala, Tripura, to reunite Dulal with his family when a large number of local men surrounded the team near a weekly ‘haat’(bazaar). As nobody in the crowd could recognize Dulal, the crowd started interrogating Joseph and accused him of being involved in ‘human traf icking’. They refused to believe the documents, at which point the police had to be called in. The police dispersed the crowd and escorted Joseph and his team to the railway station from where they returned to Guwahati. Dulal was later reintegrated at Karimganj in an organization called United Progressive Society.

Figure 1- Classi ication of admissions based on the source of rescue/admission

Figure 2-Details regarding locations were residents (women) have been reintegrated

Figure 3-Details of location where residents (men) have been reintegrated

It has been observed that a higher number of men have been reintegrated outside the state as compared to women. This higher percentage re lects the greater tendency amongst homeless mentally ill men to wander off to distant places.

When networking helps change livesOn 6th March 2014, a Mizo girl draped in a single piece of cloth was brought to Navachetana Transit Care by Basistha Police Station. She had been wandering in Bongaon area of Guwahati without any clothes when a few bystanders informed police who inally brought her to Transit Care (Rehabari). She was in her early 20’s and completely disoriented from what was happening around her. She was very restless and turned aggressive on being asked any question. Her speech was incoherent as she drifted in and out of hallucination with mild episodes of seizure. After a lot of struggle the residential staff of Transit care, led by ‘In Charge’ Pranita, managed to bath her and dress her up in a clean set of clothes. Upon her initial observation she was diagnosed as MR with Psychosis and prescribed with anti-psychotic drugs. Her ‘individual intervention plan’ for rehabilitation was planned with a focus on re-instillation of daily living skills and social skills. She was provided with constant reinforcement therapies as she was uncooperative, unwilling to work and refused to sit for counseling sessions. Due to language barrier, she was not able to communicate much information except for the fact that her name was Rina, she belonged to the Chakma Tribe of Mizoram and her father worked in Parliamentary Force (SSB).

In October 2014, a group of students from Mizoram University visited Transit Care where one of the students belonged to the Chakma Tribe. On being told about Rina, the student helped social worker Anamika in contacting the Chakma Students Union in Guwahati to locate her family. After a few days, the Union members traced the family toa central locality in Guwahati. When the family was contacted they were de iant to take back Rina.

On 17th November 2014 Rina was taken to her house in Six Mile area of Guwahati. Her parents and siblings refused to accept her as they accused her of being lazy, aggressive and rude. According to them, Rina used to have seizure from a young age, dropped out of school and became aggressive and unmanageable when she reached her adolescence. Though she was taken to Neurologists for her constant seizures, she was never taken to any psychiatrist as they didn’t know anything about mental illness. She had absconded from home thrice before being found by the family members, but the last time that she wandered away from home they did not make any attempt to ind her. After an hour of counseling the parents Social Workers Joseph and Anamika were able to convince them to take her back. A month later Rina and her mother visited Ashadeep’s OPD at Ulubari for Rina’s follow up treatment.The mother seemed content with the fact that Rina was now helping her with the household chores and had congenial relations with her siblings!

For persons with mental disorders in rural areas

Highlights of the Year-• Community Mental Health

Programme (CMHP) also known as Jan Man SwasthyaProgramme (JMSP) was continued in Boko with support from Boko CHC and expanded to cover various Sub Health Centres (SHC) in the block. Sipajhar CMHP is being implemented in association with local NGO SATRA while in Morigaon CMHP is being implemented in association with local NGO MorigaonMahilaMehfi l.

• With the aim of empowering caregivers of persons with mental illness 31 training programmes were organized in Sipajhar and Mayong block covering 658 caregivers. The major aim of such training was to help caregivers in strengthening their coping skills and relapse prevention and empower them to take up advocacy on mental health by way of group formation.

• Sensitization Programmes were organized in various village and panchayat level platforms to create awareness regarding mental healthand get rid of the stigma and misconceptions surrounding mental health. 19 such awareness programmes were organized in Sipajhar and Mayong Block.

• To create a life of dignity for persons with mental illness income generation activities are facilitated for those who become functional, 121 persons with mental illness have been linked with livelihood generation activities.

He was enrolled in the Community Mental Health Programme in 17th April 2014. Right: A year after receiving treatment Abdul comes on his own for his monthly Psychiatric Review at Nakhala CHC. Abdul has regained his mild mannerisms and greets visitors at his house with a warm smile.

For Raima (name Changed) who is a resident of Boko, a neighbor’s insistent call to watch a news item in a local TV channel came as a blessing in disguise. The news was showing Ashadeep’s newly established Rehabilitation Home at Bamunigaon. On the very next day Raima rushed to Ashadeep’sNavachetana Home in Bamunigaon where she was informed about Ashadeep’s community based mental programme (CMHP) in Boko block. Raima’sneighbours and other village members had been witness to the 10 years of misery as she ran from pillar to post for the recovery of her 23 year old daughter who had been suff ering from mental illness. Treatment at LGBRIMH in Tezpur and Private Psychiatrist in Guwahati could provide only temporary periods of relief as distance and inancial constraints led to discontinuation of medication. Visiting Boko Police Station 3-4 times in a year had become a norm for Raima as her daughter had a wandering tendency owing to her mental illness.

After a month of waiting eagerly, Raima enrolled her daughter under CMHP on the second psychiatric review at Boko PHC on 27/01/2014, where she was diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Since then Raima’s daughter has been receiving psychiatric consultation and medication, continued home visits for psycho-social rehabilitation with individual treatment plan as per need assessment, psycho-education (to both patient and family) for medicine adherence and management. The daughter has recovered remarkably and now takes care of house hold chores.Raima who continues to be highly supportive in her daughter’s recovery process and conscious of her treatment adherence says that she is content as long as her daughter lives a normal life and is functional.
