At NRHS, we understand that mental and emotional well-being are essential for overall health. Our Psychosocial Care and Support services provide individuals, families, and communities with the resources and guidance needed to navigate health-related challenges, stigma, and life stressors. Through compassionate care and evidence-based interventions, we help individuals build resilience and improve their quality of life.
Why Psychosocial Support is Important
Health conditions such as HIV can have profound emotional and psychological effects. Beyond physical treatment, individuals may experience anxiety, depression, or social isolation. Psychosocial support plays a crucial role in helping individuals cope with these challenges, improving their adherence to treatment, and fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment. By addressing emotional health, we promote overall well-being and encourage positive health outcomes.

- Stigma and discrimination reduction programs: Community-based initiatives aimed at promoting acceptance, inclusivity, and reducing the stigma associated with health conditions.
