RAG on Mental Health
The Rotary action group on mental health initiatives, as the name suggests, promotes mental health and wellness.
The district action group on mental health initiatives (DAGMHI RID 3030 India) has been formed to promote the same & It’s first district chapter in the world.
We try to have a shared vision among the Rotarians & non Rotarians who believe in promoting mental health and Wellness in our society. We want people to imbibe in their minds that mental illness is treatable and preventable. We want to promote the same through various projects, activities and toolkits.
DAGMHI will work as a resource centre for the district (free of charge).
