There are certain misconceptions about psychiatry that people have lived with over the years simply because either they do not understand the nature of psychiatric illnesses or because they are firmly rooted in their cultural beliefs.We at VIGILANCE feel that by getting the word out about these myths, we might help reduce the misunderstandings about mental disorders which seem to be so prevalent in our society today.

As we are keeping the Social Responsibility in our mind we conduct Awareness programs such as Public Meetings, Speaker Meetings, Lecture Sessions, Workshops, Seminars, Interviews, Public Rallies, Street Dramas and issuance of pamphlets among the students of schools and colleges, Working Youths, People belong to Rural and Urban Areas, Corporate Sectors and Self Help Groups. Our programs helps the people to understand these misconceptions and enable them to relate better with a patient with mental illness and be well equipped to lend a helping hand whenever necessary to alleviate their plight.
