Our Organizational Goals

5. To promote community-based capacity building by training lay therapists, family counselors, and first responders in mental health and substance use management, especially in underserved and high-risk areas.

7. To ensure access to holistic, culturally relevant, and client-centered services that prioritize dignity, autonomy, and long-term recovery outcomes for every individual served.

9. To provide comprehensive palliative care and psychosocial support services for individuals with terminal illnesses and their families, ensuring comfort, dignity, and emotional well-being throughout their journey.

These initiatives foster self-reliance and help rehabilitated individuals reintegrate into society as productive citizens.
