Chandigarh, October 5, 2025 — PARIVARTAN, a voluntary organization committed to the welfare of persons with mental illness and their families, continues to leave a profound impact on the mental health landscape of Chandigarh. Since its inception in 2009, the organization has been a collaborative initiative of the Department of Psychiatry, Government Medical College & Hospital (GMCH-32), the Mental Health Institute (MHI), Chandigarh, and socially conscious citizens determined to bring lasting change.
With a clear vision to promote dignity, inclusion, rehabilitation, and effective treatment for individuals with mental illness, PARIVARTAN focuses on holistic support that extends to families and caregivers as well.
Recognizing the crucial role caregivers play in the recovery journey, PARIVARTAN conducts monthly support sessions led by Executive Members Mrs. Seema Gupta and Mrs. Sunaina Sachdeva. These sessions provide a much-needed platform for caregivers to share their experiences, learn stress management techniques, and connect with others facing similar challenges. Through guided discussions, relaxation exercises, and peer engagement, these gatherings help reduce caregiver fatigue and build emotional resilience.
In a heartfelt initiative today, the organization hosted “Tyohare Sukoon”, a celebratory event designed to offer caregivers a much-deserved break from their routine responsibilities. The event featured light-hearted activities in a joyful and relaxing environment, giving participants a chance to unwind, connect, and rejuvenate. Moments like these are vital not only for emotional well-being but also for reinforcing the message that caregivers’ mental health matters too.
“At Parivartan, we strongly believe that caregivers are not just helping hands—they are an integral part of the healing process,” said a spokesperson from the organization. “Events like Tyohare Sukoon help remind them that they are valued and supported.”
As PARIVARTAN continues its journey of compassionate service, it stands as a beacon of hope and support for hundreds of families in the region—working not just for treatment, but for transformation.
