It was worthwhile visiting this web site. I have just started working as a Project Manager in a Community Mental Health Project at Habra, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India. My previous experience in community mental health was developing outreach programmes for injecting drug users in North-East India in the early ninties.
However, in my current assignment I am trying to change the direction of a Clinic-Centred programme to a Community-Centred one.
It would be good to connect with people working on similar projects from countries of the global south.

Would you kindly include me in the mailing list. I am Chair person of Users and Survivors of Psychiatry in Kenya. We registered this movement last year and due to the violence that rocked our country (Kenya) late last year and early this year, there was a delay in getting our registration certificate. We seek to promote mental health in Kenya and beyond through education and advocacy and are interested in participating in activities of Global Forum for Community Mental Health.

He is interested in seeking anger management therapy in an individual setting. Does anyone have a referall to a mental health org in India that may be able to lead him in the right direction?
