Community Mental Health Project

There is a very high prevalence of mental disorders among the tribes of Attappady. The problem has not been subjected to scientific study and analysis by any agency so far.

A comprehensive survey conducted in 2010 in 165 hamlets of Attappady had brought out the high number of mentally ill people in each hamlet.

The survey was inaugurated by Dr.P.R. Karunakaran District Medical Officer, Palakkad on 15th January 2010. The survey was conducted by about 60 Village Mental Health Volunteers.

Alcohol De-addiction Project

Alcohol addiction is a very common problem in the tribal villages of Attappady. The wide spread addiction to alcohol and other substances is a complex social issue with legal, socio-economic, psychological and medical ramifications.

The dependence on alcohol disrupts the family, finances, social life and occupation of the individual. There have been several instances of suicides and domestic violence relating to alcohol dependence and addiction. In order to combat this social evil in Attappady, a sustained medico-social intervention is needed.
