| Project: | The Health Foundation Nepal (HFN) is a charity organization registered in Nepal and in the United States (US). Recognizing a grave necessity of providing psychiatric rehabilitation for the people who are abandoned, stigmatized, and marginalized due to mental health conditions, we aim to implement an Innovative and Integrative Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (IPRP) in Dang district of western Nepal. The IPRP is sought to complete in 3 phases. The first phase of the project is to establish a residential place for people with severe mental illnesses who are spending lives in streets and those who are constrained in metal chains and iron bar cages in different rural communities of Nepal. HFN has already taken initiatives in establishing a residential building with capacity to rehabilitate up to 20 people at a time. The construction of the building is scheduled to complete by the end of October, 2017. The second phase of the IPRP focuses on transitioning the eligible people in the rehabilitation center and make provisions to meet basic physiological needs. The third phase of the project includes incorporating psychiatric rehabilitation program in the center followed by community health programs to transition them back to the community. As part of our integrative model, we envision to train local primary health care providers to identify, treat, and refer severe cases of mental illnesses to specialized psychiatric care facilities. |
