The modern world defines growth, prosperity, and success on the basis
of material possessions. Leading a life of comfort and luxury is highly
desirable. Our self-worth is often evaluated on the basis of what we
have achieved or have the potential to do. We are always encouraged to
have a competitive edge over others and stay ahead in the race.
Gradually we are losing our core human values of cooperation and helping
others in need.
We are highly aware of our physical well-being, spend time and money
in huge proportions on medical bills, things we consume, hit the gym
regularly to stay fit and so on and so forth. What stays ignored is our
mental and psychological health until it reaches a point when it starts
behaving highly malicious. We barely realize that mental health is
equally important, if not more, at every stage of our life, as it
directly affects emotional, psychological and social well-being. Our
thoughts, feelings and how we behave and react to various situations are
all influenced by our mental health.
Mental health issues can be caused by a variety of reasons. Any
biological or genetic history, or a traumatic or abusive experience in
life, can explain our behavior, mood swings, and thought process while
we socialize or make decisions. Baltimore Humanitarian Service takes a
few steps forward towards raising awareness of the importance of mental
health disorders and helping those in need of them.
Psychiatric Rehabilitation Programs often referred to as PRP, is a
specialized service provided by Baltimore Humanitarian Service where
mental health patients are taken cared of on a continuous basis until
they gradually recover and get back to their normal lives among the
mainstream. PRP helps in life skills like accessing community resources,
paying bills, searching for jobs, personal care, health and nutrition,
awareness on medication, relapse prevention, communication skills,
self-esteem building, field trips and other fun activities, and also
developing vocational and technical skills.
In today’s world, the menace of drug addiction has risen to alarming
proportions. These rehabilitation programs also help in addiction
recovery of patients having a history of drug abuse. The addiction
recovery programs are conducted to refine life of addiction victims who
have lost their self-control and cannot get over the urge of taking
drugs. These programs encourage patients to gradually get rid of
addiction and lead a stress-free and peaceful life. Patients are helped
to perceive their true potential, cope up with stressful situations and
build confidence within to be more dynamic and energetic at work and
contribute effectively.
Baltimore Humanitarian Service also offers housing, food, and
transportation as a voluntary service to those in need. Patients
participating in the housing program are encouraged to be actively
engaged in mental health and addiction recovery programs.
Deteriorating in life is inevitable but with the help of such
programs and services, the broken pieces could easily be mended.
Accredited by the Joint Commission for Accreditation of HealthCare
Organization, Baltimore Humanitarian Service aims to create a future
where people can breathe in a satisfied and fulfilling life, conquering
all odds and move ahead.
