Health Care

The WHO states "there is no health without mental health".Physical and Mental Health are the two components of overall Health and are closely connected.Being in a good mental state can keep you healthy and help prevent serious health conditions. Similarly, poor mental health can lead to poor physical health or harmful behaviors.

HELP Foundation has worked in overall Health Care since inception.

Child Guidance and Counselling Centre (CGCC)
A psychiatric health care centre in the trouble torn valley of Kashmir was set up in November 2003 in response to the social need and to overcome the social stigma attached to visits by such patients to Govt.
