Roshini is Family Support and Advocacy group of Family caregivers for people persons suffering from major mental disorders (known as users) such as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder and OCD. It was initiated in 2006 by the leading advocacy NGO, Action for Mental illness, Bangalore. In 2010, it was registered as an independent public charitable trust under the Indian Trust Act. We, the family careers share and support each other. We learn from each other’s experience, both success and failures.
We are an outstanding example of the way in which the family can be made into an important national resource for care and support to overcome the acute shortage of mental health manpower.
The unique of ROSHINI is that in addition to its own activities mentioned above, it also works as an advocacy forum to draw the attention of Delhi Government towards crisis intervention aids like ambulance services and easy hospitalization procedures, keeping in mind the rights of the people affected by Mental Illness. At this moment we are all helping each other in crisis situations.

If You Call, Please Let Us Know How it Went:
Were You Able to Make an Appointment?
One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
