Homelessness is a big challenge in low-and middle-income countries and mental health conditions are highly prevalent in homeless populations. A significant number of homeless people have some sort of mental illness including sever mental health disorders. There is a considerable treatment and support gap for this marginalised population. The Banyan organisation with its treatment and care services are filling the gap in India for the most vulnerable population.

In this episode, Carine Weiss talks with Dr. Vandana Gopikumar about her passion and love to support the mentally ill homeless women and men and how she and her team are able to treat and heal patients so that they can go back and life a normal life again together with their families or in their community.
