Manaspoorthi is a unique initiative started by Manasa to help children with academic difficulties and behavioral issues. The resource center is a haven for those children who do not fit under the regular schooling system due to multiple problems. We help children with Autism, intellectual disabilities, behavioral problems and learning disabilities. It is a day care center which helps them achieve the social skills and academic levels tailor made for each child based on their ability. The center offers free aid to the students who are from financially challenged backgrounds and conducts free summer camps year for children from Government Schools.
The center is managed by efficient, loving and well qualified teachers, special educators, special trainers, physiotherapists and clinical psychologists.
In an effort to build manpower in the field of patient care, we have a training center for Diploma in patient care assistance recognized by the National commission for vocational research and training (NCVRT). It is a two-year diploma program wherein students who have completed their PUC II, are trained in basic patient care skills like bed making, patient cleanliness and hygiene, basic nursing skills, diet, measuring vitals and opd management. The course consists of both theory and practical training provided by qualified nursing tutors and doctors. They are posted in other hospitals in Shivamogga for a short period to intern in areas of medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics and pediatrics.
By the time they graduate, these students are well equipped to handle home nursing and work as assistants in clinics, rehabilitation centers, old age homes and home nursing care.
As its nonprofit initiative, Manasa opens this course only for girls from rural and disadvantaged backgrounds, in an effort to help them envisage a better future for themselves. We provide free accommodation and food for those enrolling from nearby villages and towns for the entire tenure of their studies.
It gives us immense joy to know that these students of ours have gone back to their villages and towns and have become important health care providers and therefore respected by their people.
During the COVID crisis, most health care providers encountered difficulties during the lockdown. In the case of psychiatry, the crisis increased the levels of stress, adjustment issues and mental distress across the lifespan of the community. There was a sense of helplessness that we could not provide care when it was most needed. But as every crisis opens up an opportunity, Manasa started its teleconsultation services by psychiatrists in accordance with the Central Government guidelines. Though we are pat the crisis now, it continues to be successful for patients who seek help from neighboring states, patients who are disabled, old, physically sick and those who have no care taking help.
For more information regarding the same, the phone number is 9480838072, between 9 30 am to 6 30 pm, Monday to Saturday.
In continuation with the teleconsultation services, our dedicated team of clinical psychologists also provide tele counseling services. Most of our clientele includes our existing patients, students experiencing peer or academic pressures, corporates suffering stress and overwork. The service also provides help for emergency psychological crisis counseling.
