Shantmanas
Shant Manas ('Shant Manas' meaning ''peaceful mind'' in Indian vernacular) is a not-for-profit organization, based in the Tamil Nadu region, South India. It is a 'free of cost' community-based service dedicated to the support and education of people with mental health difficulties. It offers 'at home' treatments (both pharmacological and talking therapies), counseling and rehabilitation to those who are needy and willing to accept such help. Shant Manas works to promote positive mental health by working in close partnership with families and the local communities. Improving awareness of the importance of mental health and minimizing stigma and discrimination, through regular psychosocial educational programs, within the rural communities that we serve, remains one of our prime objectives.
==History==
Shant Manas was begun in 2007 by Dr Cahn Vasudevan, a retired Consultant Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist from the UK. His was a simple idea of 'putting back' some of his skills and experience into a small rural community of the country of his origin and making mental health services accessible to a section of people who previously had no such service available to them. Shant Manas began as a small clinical project in 4 villages. Since its inception it has expanded its field of care to 14 villages, with a combined estimated population of about 80,000. It is staffed by three full-time mental health social workers (supported by supervision from 2 sessional psychiatrists) overseeing the psychiatric and social care of 220 service users, with around 50 of them in being in active treatment, as of in May 2015.
As well as the treatment of psychiatric disorders, Shant Manas aims to provide education on mental health to the local population, reducing stigma and myths surrounding mental health. Due to its success the service continues to expand as demand and awareness of mental health increases. The main body of clinical and social work at Shant Manas is to do with all forms of mental illness and their consequences, but in a very limited sense with difficulties relating to alcohol addiction or learning difficulties.
