Project Description Region: Asia Country: Nepal Location: Kavre Total Budget: $34,500 Area of Focus: Disease prevention and treatment Mental health conditions are prevalent in low-income- countries like Nepal. It is reported that about 20% of the population has a mental health condition. Mental ill-health brings with it social stigma in Nepal, with more than 85% of people who are unable to access treatment services, and experiencing an increased risk of mental health problems in survivors of GBV, women, children, and old people. Mental health is one of the least prioritized areas of health and development in Nepal. Non-governmental organizations and civil society organizations are seen to provide mental health and psychosocial services to address an urgent unmet need for mental health support. There is an urgent need to integrate and streamline mental health services and improve the capacity and skills of health professionals to improve and strengthen access to mental health to affected populations in the country. The goal of this innovation is to address the mental health concerns of people in remote areas and communities by strengthening the capacity of health service providers, counselors, and teachers as they are part of local resources to address mental health and psychosocial needs in the community. The program aims to achieve three primary outcomes as a result of their work: Increase access to mental health psychosocial services at the local community level Support people with mental health conditions and their families to be able to work in their communities Networking with local government and DPOs to respect, protect, and fulfill the rights of people with mental health conditions With the support of the Government of Nepal, upscale the community-based mental health program at the local, national, and provincial level The total number of beneficiaries for this project is 3000 people.
