Our Approach to Mental and Physical Wellness

At Amma Nanna Anada Ashramam, healing begins with care and continues with compassion.

Every person deserves a life of dignity, love, and well-being—regardless of where they come from or what challenges they face. At Amma Nanna Anada Ashramam, our mission goes beyond simply providing food and shelter. We focus on restoring lives through a deep, holistic approach to both mental and physical wellness.

Mental Wellness: Healing the Invisible Wounds

Many of the individuals who arrive at our ashram have been abandoned, misunderstood, or left untreated due to their mental health conditions. We believe that with the right care, support, and environment, even the most vulnerable can find balance and happiness again.

Our approach includes:

• Compassionate Observation: Before any intervention, our caregivers spend time understanding each person’s behavior, triggers, and emotional needs.
  
  

• Routine and Stability: Mental wellness begins with routine. We provide structured daily schedules, including healthy meals, hygiene, activities, and rest.
  
  

• Gentle Engagement: Music, art, prayer, and community participation are used as tools to uplift mood and provide a sense of connection.
  
  

• Referral to Professionals: In severe cases, we collaborate with mental health professionals for diagnosis, medication, or therapy when required.

We don’t label anyone. We observe them, understand them, and welcome them into a loving environment that accepts them as they are.

Physical Wellness: The Foundation of Recovery

For those who have lived on the streets, basic health is often neglected. Malnutrition, infections, wounds, and chronic conditions are common. Our first step is always to restore the body.

Here’s how we care for their physical well-being:

• Initial Medical Check-ups: Every new member is examined, cleaned, and treated for any visible or urgent medical needs.
  
  

• Nutritious Meals: Our kitchen prepares fresh, balanced meals daily to support immune health and energy.
  
  

• Clean Clothing and Bedding: Personal hygiene is key to health. We provide clean clothes, regular baths, and sanitized sleeping areas.
  
  

• Ongoing Medical Support: For those with long-term conditions, we provide continued medication, monitoring, and when possible, local clinic visits.
  

Health is not just about survival—it’s about feeling alive again. We work hard to make sure every individual feels safe, seen, and stronger every day.

Wellness is a Journey, Not a Destination

We know that healing takes time. There is no timeline or pressure. Whether someone takes weeks or years to feel whole again, we walk beside them.

At Amma Nanna, we treat every soul with respect and patience. Our goal is not just to care for them, but to care with them—to make them feel like part of a family.

Be a Part of Their Healing Journey

Your support enables us to continue this deeply personal and compassionate work. Whether it’s sponsoring a meal, donating medicines, or simply sharing our mission—every act of kindness helps.

Let’s encourage them by ensuring wellness, one day at a time.
