Serving the rural communities in Gujarat after the pandemic hit!

The pandemic induced severe psychological and physical distress and the Minds Foundation did not hold back from helping the ones in need in this time of global crisis. Especially the people from rural areas who struggle to even make ends meet. Any kind of help for psychological distress and disorder was a distant thought until our field psychologist Dr. Baldev Singh took the initiative to reach out to people of the rural areas.

Minds Foundation currently, is constantly following up with active clients with varied disorders like Anxiety, Depression, stress-related disorders, and other health concerns. The hue and cry about the spread of the virus have an intense effect on the mental health of the underprivileged. Our stakeholders are making sure that no wrong ideas and misinformation create chaos and trauma because social media as such is flooded with ghastly visuals that can have long-term effects on the minds of people.

However, due to COVID restrictions in mobility, many clients are not able to make it to psych wards and OPDs. Dr. Singh is also taking good care of this by fetching help and medication from hospitals and reaching out to the patients. Our purpose is to keep making a difference and as stakeholders, we promise to serve people to our best capacity!
