Notes

The Banyan is an organisation that cares for and rehabilitates homeless women with mental illness found in the streets of Chennai. At its home, Adaikalam(Tamil for 'home'), The Banyan provides the women a safe shelter, care, medical attention, and a supportive environment to enable them to recover and to take responsibility for their lives again. The Banyan also supports the women’s return to their families and communities and when this is not possible, supports the women in setting up new lives for themselves. The vision of The Banyan is to ensure that no mentally ill homeless person is left uncared and unattended for in the streets.

Although The Banyan offers a comfortable home to women in distress, it is important to remember that The Banyan is not an institution for lifetime patients. The ultimate goals of the project being rehabilitation and empowerment, The Banyan is an effort to reunite the women with their families and to help them reintegrate back into the mainstream society to be able to lead normal lives again.
