Over the past year, we've seen a growing need for support in our community. So we partnered with the Mental Health Foundation (MHF), who work at community level rather than just clinical settings.
We started with Training of Trainers (TOT) sessions for our frontline team, social workers, leaders, centre managers, and others who work with families daily. These sessions help them recognise early signs of emotional distress, identify concerns, and know when to raise them for proper support.
So far, we've completed two sessions: one on emotional disorders and another on disabilities, with a focus on intellectual disabilities. Even with just these sessions, our staff have already begun noticing signs in children and connecting them with the right support more quickly.
This is only the beginning, but it's an important one. A big thanks to Indu and team for leading this work.
Joyya creates employment in West Bengal communities marked by extreme poverty and modern slavery, but the vision doesn't stop at jobs. We strive to nurture environments where communities can grow stronger, where children and youth find opportunities, and where people can choose dignity, stability, and hope for themselves.
