Modus operandi of the outreach project

A team of Psychiatrists, Psychologists and Social Workers reach the doorsteps of some Correctional & Custodial Institutions on a regular basis in order to:

  • Screen the residents of the said institutions for identify the mentally ill persons from amongst them

  • Bring the identified mental patients under the purview of Psychiatric Treatment and Psychosocial Training

SEVAC also supplies medicines for the treatment of a group of mental patients housed in different Vagrant Homes

Saplings are being supplied to the stable / recovered mental patients who have been receiving Psychiatric treatment at the Dum Dum Central Jail, so that they can be engaged in the work of gardening.
