As we begin the run-up to the 30th year of the Banyan in August 2023, we can’t help but feel nostalgic for the way we began in 1993. We knew we wanted to create a home for those homeless and mentally unwell, alone and on the fringes of society….
A big shout out to Chengalpattu Collector, TNRTP department, and our peer leaders rocking the D’lite Masala unit. We're so proud to be a part of your lives! #livelihoods #socialenterprise
Such a big day for us at The Banyan! Our Social Cooperative, represented by our dear Annamary, received the ‘Enterprise Award’ from the Honorable Chief Minister Thiru MK Stalin at Kalaivanar Arangam.
Folks—we are really excited about this! Please consider submitting! Editors inc Vandana Gopikumar, @parcmaker of @banyanbalm ; Becca Miller, @sandysteingard & I.
I would like to request #DGRPF to support and help us as soon as possible🙏🏾
Tomorrow get to do one of the things I personally find most meaningful: a workshop for front-line clinicians/staff on alternative approaches to thinking about & working with psychosis
This op-ed in @the_hindu calls urgently for placing dignity, agency, and personhood at the heart of mental health care systems for vulnerable populations. Co-authored by former Union Health Secretary Keshav Desiraju and The Banyan's co-founder Dr. Vandana Gopikumar.
The co-authors celebrate the @WHO's recent Guidance on Community Mental Health Services, which pushes for rights- and consent-based person-centric mental health care systems. Read the full piece here: thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/…

ஆதரவற்றவர்களுக்கு சேவை செய்துவரும் @banyanbalm @WHOவின் வழிகாட்டு அறிக்கையில் இடம்பெற்றதற்கு வாழ்த்துகள். என் தந்தை சபாநாயகராக இருந்தபோது அவர்களுக்கு அரசு நிலம் பெற வழி செய்தார். அந்த விதைச்சல் உலகப்புகழ் பெற்றிருப்பது மக்கள் பணியில் உள்ள எனக்கு அளவில்லா மகிழ்வை தருகிறது.
