Our Story
Bhor Foundation is a charity based in India. We work on issues to do with mental health, psychosocial disability and are striving to change the lens through which madness is viewed. The trauma informed approach, madness as distress which is temporary and a strong adherence to the principles of the UN's CRPD inform our work.
Set up in 2016 by Jhilmil Breckenridge and Namarita Kathait, it’s mandates are providing information, resources and other help to people affected by mental health distress, doing writing and speaking at events and conferences to help shift the biomedical approach to mental health to a more societal lens, helping shift the gaze to a more trauma-informed approach and taking poetry as therapy into asylums and prisons. One of its projects to help change public opinion is an anthology, slated for release in 2018, which has voices writing on mental health. In the words of those affected, caregivers, bystanders and poets and writers, the result is a strong piece of literature which will lead to more inclusion and help remove the stigma which often comes from a mental health diagnosis.
