ABOUT US
For Beautiful People
In the tapestry of humanity, every thread is beautiful, and so are the individuals navigating the complex intersection of homelessness and mental health. Our commitment is to see the beauty in each person’s story and provide unwavering support as they navigate life’s hardships. With authenticity at our core, we embrace the uniqueness of every journey. A therapeutic contract binds and upholds everything we do, and we believe that giving people agency is the first step to helping them heal. By recognizing the inherent worth in every person, we can collectively weave a more compassionate society.
BELIEF SYSTEM
Guided by Therapeutic Care
Our commitment to providing clear solutions around care is firmly rooted in the bedrock of psychotherapeutic science. As we navigate the delicate yet layered terrain of mental health in the homeless, we rely on evidence-based practices, ensuring that our interventions are not just well-intentioned in their conceptualization but also scientifically sound in their implementation.
Our thorough understanding of the therapeutic landscape empowers us to tailor our interventions to make a lasting impact. This scientific approach, guided by care, forms the cornerstone of our mission, reassuring those we serve that they are in capable hands.
Systemic responses mirror everyday responses on the streets. We are, at the community level, able to foster a sense of kindness, empathy, and responsiveness in specific cases.
The Banyan has been a valued partner of the Foundation and we are delighted that they agreed to our request to set up and operate a potentially unique institution that created comprehensive health and social care access pathways for persons with mental health issues from vulnerable communities across Karnataka.
This partnership aims to reduce distress related to homelessness, duration of time spent looking for affordable care using public health approaches, and enabling civil society discourse that will bolster social inclusion and participation.
