Mental Health Homes

Comprehensive psychiatric care for mentally ill residents found homeless on streets, railway stations, and public places — given dignity, treatment, and a real home.

The Challenge We Address

Mental illness is one of the most invisible crises in India. Thousands of mentally ill individuals wander streets, rejected by families who lack resources to care for them, vulnerable to abuse, malnutrition, and death. Apna Ghar has made mental health care a core pillar of its mission since 2000.

With over 2,500 mentally ill residents across our ashrams — including those with psychiatric conditions, intellectual disabilities, abnormal behaviour, dementia, and epilepsy — we operate India's most comprehensive network of residential mental health homes for the destitute.
