Urban Health Clinic
– mental health care for the urban poor
The Urban Health
Clinic has recently been established by The Banyan in co-operation
with two other organisations in Chennai as an initiative to
reach out to a larger number of individuals that suffer from
mental illness. The clinic is located in a slum community
with the highest suicide rate in the whole city, in desperate
need of mental health services. The clinic provides psychological
counselling to members of the slum community free of cost.
