Audio Visual Aids for Health And Nurturance
AVAHAN in Marathi means to Beckon. This wing of IPH was specifically started to beckon people to learn and become aware. Making of Audio Visual Aids gives boost in the advancement of 'Mental Health for All.'
Utility of these aids:
- Better document the process of all the activities that IPH performs.
- Disseminate the learning, ideas, philosophy, & process to larger audiences of mental health professionals
- Disseminate information about the activities in places outside our catchment area so as to effect, possibly, similar attitudinal changes in those areas regarding mental health.
Currently Avahan is undertaking production of CDs to cater to specific needs of people as well. Sale of CDs is one of the ways by which IPH is financing some of the other activities.
