Supporting Young Minds, Building Brighter Futures
About Us
India is one of the youngest nations in the world, with nearly half its population under 25. To address the growing mental health needs of young people, the Department of Youth Mental Health (YMH) at the Schizophrenia Research Foundation (SCARF) was established in 2021. YMH provides holistic, youth-centered mental health care encompassing promotion, prevention, management, and aftercare through its clinical services, research, training, and advocacy initiatives.
