Schizophrenia Awareness Association Pune

Persons with Mental Illness do better, when living in the community; hence their stay in institutions, should be-brief and only when unavoidable. However, it is not conducive for recovery, if patients stay 24 hours at home interacting only with family members. For those, unable to find work or socialize, attending a day care centre is a good option to step out of the house, socialize and receive non-medical therapy. It also provides relief to the stressed family members.

Schizophrenia Awareness Association (SAA) runs a Day Care cum Rehabilitation Center at Dhayari in Pune. In a homelike, peaceful environment, clients receive therapeutic day care and participate in rehabilitation related programmes. The Center, spread over 3 levels, has a large yoga hall, activity rooms, library, consultation room, counseling room, respite room, jogging track and other facilities. Various activities and therapies are conducted by clinical psychologists and experienced volunteers.
