There is a clear shortage of professionals and social workers
For the Urdu Park project, it has teamed up with medical specialists from the
Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Science (IHBAS). So our set up is a
one-stop-clinic for the poor people.Patients queue up outside Aashray Adhikar

There is a
clear shortage of professionals and social workers who are professionally
trained to work towards mental health issues. The organisation has also trained
workers to observe behavioural patterns and follow up with the patients.With
very little focus from both the Central and the local government on mental
illnesses, there is a vacuum of trained staff to help the people in this
area.Coming as a ray of hope for the destitute mentally-ill people in the
national capital, an NGO, Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan, has set up a makeshift clinic
to help these homeless people. Since 2008, more than a thousand mentally ill
patients have been referred to the street clinics.
The Delhi-based NGO has
established various street clinics in the past years.â€The NGO covers the costs
of treatment and also provides clothes and food to the patients. Our team gets
patients with both severe as well as routine mental illnesses..jpg # Patients

attend to a line of patients who are mostly rickshaw pullers, vendors, rag
pickers and beggars.
Our goal is to make their lives better.Paramjeet Kaur, the
director of the NGO and head of the Urdu Park Project, told this newspaper that
their mission is to help the mentally ill, meet patients and hand out free
medicine. We help out patients with bi-polar disorder, drug addictions and
schizophrenia as well,†she said, adding, "These homeless and poor people at the
bottom of the social set up have legal right to health, but they are unable to
access it.Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan was started more than ten years ago to help
the homeless people, but today it is also known for its efforts to help the
mentally ill
