Collaborative Community Mental Health Program (CCMHP)

Collaborative Community Mental Health Program (CCMHP) is running in Chitwan area municipalities that serves at the grassroot level in creating programs to enhance mental health detection, awareness and helping seeking behavior for municipality ward community member.

Currently the program is running in 3 wards

• Ratnanagar Municipality, Ward 16

• Khairahani Municipality, Ward 1

• Khairahani Municipality, Ward 4

We are on the ground, working directly with our communities to help people facing mental health challenges. Our focus is on early  support—working towards community members finding help, get the problem identified, and starting treatment for mental health issues as soon as possible. But we know treatment is not enough. We also actively work within our communities to fight the shame and judgment often linked to mental illness. Stigma is a huge problem because it often stops people from getting the care they need.
