About Us
The institute functioned as a unit of the Govt. Mental Health Centre (GMHC) at Kozhikode from a small temporarily allotted building with minimum resources and limited man power. In addition to the weekly outpatient clinic at the GMHC and inpatient unit, the institute was organizing monthly community mental health clinics at Meppadi and Thariyode in Wayanad district from 1984 onwards. Later on community mental health clinics were started at Perambra and Balusseri in Kozhikode district and Edavanna in Malappuram district. The institute was also organizing rehabilitation services in the GMHC through the rehabilitation centre which was started in 1989. The institute continued to function in the GMHC till 2015 when it was shifted to the new building in the Govt. Medical College campus, Kozhikode. The year 2007 marked a change in the functioning of the institute with its focus shifting to community psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry and rehabilitation services with the aim of effective utilization of the available resources and man power. Community psychiatry was taken up in big way with the starting of community based mental health services extensively in the four northern districts of Kerala with financial support from the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) and the District Mental Health Program (DMHP) of National Mental Health Program (NMHP). Stress was also given to improving the rehabilitation activities in the four northern districts with support from local self Govt. bodies and community based initiatives.
