At NRHS, we understand that mental and emotional well-being are essential for overall health. Our Psycho-social Care and Support services provide individuals, families, and communities with the resources and guidance needed to navigate health-related challenges, stigma, and life stressors. Through compassionate care and evidence-based interventions, we help individuals build resilience and improve their quality of life.
Why Psycho-social Support is Important
Health conditions such as HIV can have profound emotional and psychological effects. Beyond physical treatment, individuals may experience anxiety, depression, or social isolation. Psychosocial support plays a crucial role in helping individuals cope with these challenges, improving their adherence to treatment, and fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment. By addressing emotional health, we promote overall well-being and encourage positive health outcomes.

- Individual and group counseling: Professional counseling sessions for those living with HIV and other health conditions to help them manage stress, emotional struggles, and mental health concerns.

- Stigma and discrimination reduction programs: Community-based initiatives aimed at promoting acceptance, inclusivity, and reducing the stigma associated with health conditions.
