Mental Health & Psychosocial Support (MHPSS)
Shurokkha works to improve mental wellbeing and resilience through mental health awareness, psychosocial support, referral services, capacity building, and community-based interventions.
Programme Overview
The Mental Health & Psychosocial Support Programme aims to improve access to inclusive, culturally responsive, and evidence-based mental health support for vulnerable and underserved communities. Through awareness, basic psychosocial support, specialist referral, training, and partnerships, we work to reduce gaps in mental healthcare.
Why This Programme Matters
Mental health concerns often remain unaddressed because of stigma, limited awareness, lack of services, and reluctance to seek support. Timely assistance, safe opportunities for discussion, effective referral, and community-based support are essential for improving the wellbeing and resilience of individuals, families, and communities.
What We Work On
Mental Health Awareness
Community awareness on mental health, stress, anxiety, depression, help-seeking, and stigma reduction.
Psychosocial Support
Basic psychosocial support and safe listening for people experiencing crisis, trauma, family stress, or emotional difficulties.
Helpline & Support Linkage
Connecting people with specialized helplines, counselling services, and appropriate mental health support.
Specialist Referral
Confidential referral to psychiatrists, psychologists, counsellors, and relevant healthcare facilities when needed.
School and Campus-Based Support
Activities for students, teachers, and parents on emotional wellbeing, stress management, peer support, and safer learning environments.
Training & Capacity Building
MHPSS training for volunteers, teachers, community leaders, health workers, and frontline personnel.
Our Approach
We follow person-centered, rights-based, and do-no-harm principles. Working with trained professionals, health institutions, educational institutions, volunteers, community leaders, and specialized partners, we deliver mental health awareness, basic support, confidential referral, and capacity-building activities.
Expected Impact
Improved understanding of mental health, reduced stigma, better access to psychosocial support, timely specialist referral, and stronger emotional resilience among individuals and communities.
