Mission Statement
Right now, millions of people in low-income communities are experiencing mental health problems but have no access to the care and support they desperately need. At Jaya Mental Health, we are determined to change this injustice by providing training to local healthcare professionals and volunteers so that they can lead on improving mental health support in their communities. By raising awareness of mental health and working alongside communities we fight the stigma facing people experiencing mental ill health.
About This Cause
Jaya Mental Health is a nurse-led UK registered charity with ten years experience of improving mental health care in low-income communities. Our long-term sustainable solution to the severe lack of mental health support in many parts of the world, is to train and upskill local nurses, healthcare workers and volunteers, to enable them to provide mental health support and shape health services in their own communities. The charity is made up of mental health professionals and volunteers with local grassroots team in Nepal, that leads on delivering many of the projects. Mental health professionals are extremely limited across this region and for many rural and isolated communities, completely non-existent. Our approach is to work collaboratively with local health posts, hospitals, schools, communities and to influence local and national governments to create long-term sustainable solutions to the severe lack of mental health support in South Asia.
