Our aim is to save mothers, promote development of children and create better workforce for future. Our community mental health workers identify and screen each pregnant woman and each mother with a child less than one year (post-partum mother) for depression and anxiety. Those mothers with symptoms of depression or anxiety get regular counseling and treatment. Those mothers with severe forms of depression or anxiety are referred for further evaluation by a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists and psychologists from America and Nepal closely supervise community mental health workers working in the community. Those mothers without any depression or anxiety are followed every 3 months. HFN team evaluates and provides treatment to mothers where they are. We serve all mothers in the community and don't charge any fee. SIM Campaign 2020 aims to serve at least 1,000 pregnant and post-partum mothers in Dang district of Nepal in the year 2020. HFN recently raised more than 7000 through crowd sourcing to support this campaign for this year. Thank you everyone for your support.  Mental Health Rehab Center Kuirepani, Dang
