Clinical services

Clinical services consist of a comprehensive evaluation of social, emotional, behavioural and academic skills with an objective to devise a customised and goal oriented program to help the child develop his/her skills.

Public Health Services

As a part of our goal to create mental health awareness, we undertake mental health literacy surveys, conduct various workshops in the domain of mental health and general well-being, work with the schools to promote an environment to optimise social-emotional learning for the students and support the parents and teachers in the process.
