Review for The Banyan, Chennai, TN, India
I worked for The Banyan from 2007-2008 and was astounded by their forward thinking and inclusive way of working; The Banyan is fighting against taboo and stigma regarding mental illness in India, and is fighting for better treatment and recovery opportunity for sufferers. They are promoting basic human rights for a forgotten section of society in India as well as quite literally saving the lives of thousands of mentally ill homeless women. They are holistic and respectful, they work in partenrship[ with psychiatrists, governement organisations as well as faith healers. In this way they can promote positive change for sufferers of mental illness with long term results.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the real possibility of positive change for women who would normally have little opportunity for recovery; instead of being shackled, beaten or neglected, women have the opportunity to gain helpful treatment, education and reintegrate into society.
