Felt Need:
Despite an increase in scientific productivity and material success, statistics show that the rate of mental disturbances in terms of Suicide, Alcoholism, Drugs, Marital breakdown and the like are increasing at an alarming rate. It would seem that as the material comforts of life have increased, mental health is deteriorating. Mental health is achieved if man develops into full maturity according to the characteristics and laws of human nature. Mental illness consists in the failure of such development.
According to the National Mental Health Programme document, about 20-30 million Indians are in need of some form of mental health care. Every year, 2,50,000 new cases are reported. But these figures do not include the thousands of others who may be suffering in silence without access to help. With proper care, at least 60 percent of these mentally ill people can recover completely and at least 80 percent can avoid chronic illness and disability.
A large number of people can be helped merely by listening, providing care and equipping them with life-skills to cope with the stressful situations in life.
A growing awareness of the shortage of professional guidance and the ineffectiveness of traditional treatment has led to a large number of persons seeking new avenues. In the next five years, India needs at least 50,000 trained counsellors nation-wide. Right now, we don’t have even have 2000 trained counsellors!
