Millions of people in India struggle to access mental healthcare, with many turning to faith healers for help. But communities are finding innovative ways to bridge the gap between faith and medicine, challenging stigma and bringing treatment to those who need it most. We explore how these pioneering approaches could transform mental healthcare in India.
