Centre for Advocacy in Mental Health

Centre for Advocacy in Mental Health The Center for Advocacy in Mental Health [CAMH] is a research center of Bapu Trust. It was started in November 1999, in Pune city.

CAMH is a community resource center in mental health. We offer a library, documentation service and an oral history archive. CAMH addresses the information needs of non-medical healers, therapists, community workers, users of mental health services, lawyers, activists, as well as researchers and students. Doctors interested in alternative streams of thinking in mental health, and desiring to find

ways of integrating the user voices in their program activities may also find our resource center useful. We are involved in serious social science research linking gender, culture, oppression, deprivation and mental health. The objectives of the Center are to:

- Build self advocacy movements in India and the Asia Pacific region in the context of the UNCRPD
- Provide a rights-based language for mental health in India
- Create an informed political discourse on Citizenship, Development, and Mental Health
- Address the information gaps and needs of communities on mental health and well being
- Build community based and holistic methods of offering support, and / or healing from (mental) health problems

The CAMH strives, through its work, to research and communicate the main message that mental health and overall well being is social and environmental. It has a history of human rights activism in mental health. The CAMH also provides a range of comprehensive community services.

The past year, through our campaign, we realized how important our stance on the full CRPD implementation for inclusion of persons with psychosocial disabilities is. The campaign presented insights on what persons with psychosocial disabilities actually need, the way forward from the CRPD, and the difficult times we are living. We had several significant contributions towards the shift to disability inclusion from our members and partners. As the campaign for this year comes to a close, we would like to thank our members and supporters for making this campaign a success this year. Thank you for all the support and resilience. May this year be more fruitful to our advocacies and bring us strength.
We will be presenting a complete archive of the campaign soon.
As a closing note, we are attaching the link to our membership. If you are a person with a psycho-social disability and advocate for the rights of persons with psychosocial disabilities, a DPO, or even a cross-disability organization, then please join our network.
