Mother Teresa Home Psychosocial Rehabilitation Centre

Mother Teresa Home grew out of the Sanjeevani Rehabilitation Centre, founded in 1992 as the first psychosocial rehabilitation centre of its kind in Kerala. In 2000, a dedicated wing named for Mother Teresa of Calcutta opened its doors to ten women with nowhere else to turn — the beginning of what has since grown into a 140-bed residential community.

We follow the Triangle Model of rehabilitation, addressing the short-term, medium-term and long-term needs of every resident through a combination of psychiatric treatment, counselling, occupational therapy and spiritual care. Residents are guided back toward a functional, dignified life rather than simply being confined — many take part in farming, animal husbandry and household work as part of their own recovery.

Round-the-clock nursing, a consulting psychiatric team, and a staff of social workers, counsellors and caregivers support residents who often have nowhere else to be cared for. Since our founding we have walked alongside more than 4,500 individuals.
