AMHA is a non-governmental, non-profit social welfare organisation registered under the Charitable Societies Registration Act, and based in Thrissur, Kerala. AMHA seeks to

1. provide a home for destitute mentally handicapped adults where they can live with love, dignity & self-esteem;
2. rehabilitate mentally disabled adults who are underprivileged in all respects;
3. provide physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and vocational rehabilitation;
4. provide counselling for parents and caregivers, conduct social awareness programmes, conduct periodic medical inspection among the destitute sections of the population and provide help.

Attitudes towards the mentally challenged varies mostly between sympathy, over-protection and ridicule. Instead, they need help to grow - within their inherent strengths & limitations. A major obstacle to be overcome in the adjustment of the disabled to the 'normal' world around them is FEAR - fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of ridicule & last but not least, the fear of isolation. AMHA aims to remove that fear by developing feelings of usefulness and responsibility among the mentally handicapped. By inculcating a sense of purpose & personal growth in them, these individuals can be made to feel loved and needed. Eventually, as their sense of self-worth increases, they will be equipped with greater mental, emotional & psychological strength.

Help us secure a happy future for these adults with child-like minds.
