Aakalan –
IPH’s Learning Centre for Knowledge and Excellence
The mission statement of IPH is “Mental Health for
All". In pursuit of its goal, IPH would like to
consider itself as a laboratory of community mental
health, a place where competent service, community
participation and creative education go hand in
hand. IPH has been conducting innovative programs
and projects in the field of mental health over the
last 20 years. Students and professionals alike have
visited IPH and have been introduced to and greatly
benefitted by these programs This learning has been
experiential and informal, and in the process, many
structured learning models have emerged.
Through Aakalan, its learning initiative, IPH makes
an effort to integrate these proven models and
consolidate the learning process into a system and
reach out and benefit maximum people. The literal
meaning of Aakalan is understanding, appreciating or
internalizing.
The Aakalan project is a proactive effort and aims
to structuralize what IPH can teach. The main thrust
of Aakalan is on teaching, learning and skill
training for everyone in the vocation of mental
health. IPH is sensitive to the changing social
trends and needs and the teaching modules are
prepared taking account of these perspectives. The
teaching pattern will predominantly stress on skill
set acquisition and skill set enhancement and will
focus on a balanced approach of theoretical inputs
and practical training. In imparting this knowledge,
Aakalan strives to reach out to as many service
providers as possible – academic and non-academic,
professional and non-professional through various
need-based training programs. The target of these
programs would be ‘demystifying mental illness’ and
through these different endeavors, Aakalan aims at
reaching as close as possible, IPH’s vision
“Mental Health for All”
Aakalan was launched in October 2007 during the World
mental health week and since then has evolved as a
nodal centre to provide educational and training
inputs. Its aim and focus is in providing post
graduate training in skill management and skill
enhancement in mental health care delivery. Since
then, IPH’s learning center has imparted training to
mental health professionals like psychiatrists,
psychologists and social workers; non mental health
professionals like GPs, other medical specialists
and nurses and students pursuing mental health
professions.
Other stake holders like teachers and trainee
teachers, community volunteers, caregivers and
members of self help groups also have been through
training programs to get sensitized to various
issues in mental health. IPH has also played host to
a number of foreign students and mental health
professionals who have not only shared and
contributed to the learning but also taken home
insights from
their experiences and interactions.
