Mariwala Health Initiative (MHI)

Founded by Harsh Mariwala, Mariwala Health Initiative (MHI) is a capacity-building, advocacy, and grant-making organisation with a particular focus on making mental health accessible to marginalised persons and communities. We align with a rights-based, psychosocial approach that considers mental health concerns in the context of disability rights. We expand on the narrow medical understandings of mental health and illness and look at these through a systemic lens. We understand oppression based on caste, gender, religion, region, ability, and sexuality as major contributors to mental health distress. We encourage community-based interventions and actively promote the deinstitutionalisation of mental health services.
