About the project

About the project The SAHARA program focuses on scaling up evidence based ‘task sharing’ interventions for perinatal mental health and early child development through delivery of comprehensive primary mental health care for first 1000 days of life. Sangath has successfully digitized Thinking Healthy Program- Peer (THPP) delivered; an evidence-based task sharing intervention for perinatal depression and developed Lalan Palan, a video-based parenting intervention for early child development. We have scaled up these two interventions across 8 districts of Madhya Pradesh by digitally training community-based workers (ASHAs and Anganwadi workers) and providing them continuous supervision.
