About: COOJ Mental Health Foundation is a registered Charitable Trust that works towards promoting Mental Health and providing for psycho-social rehabilitation services in Goa. Since our inception in the year 2000, we have been tirelessly reaching out to people who have been affected with mental illness or disability. Overcoming the hurdles of stigma, myth and discrimination through education and awareness, with the aim of promoting sustainable social and human development,has been our mission. By creating oppurtunities for growth, regardless of the level of ability we work towards preserving individual respect and dignity.
The COOJ initiative has helped in creating awareness about positive mental health and illness. Through the rehabilitaion programs, our clients have seen more productive days by being exposed to a positive and healthy learning atmosphere. Many have gone ahead into supported or open employment. Affected families have been empowered to deal with the numerous complex issues which are a part of these illnesses. Through our Continued Education Program, student drop-outs have been assisted into completion of their education. We were the proud recepients of the Vincent Xavier Verodiana Award, instituted by Dom Martin of the United States of Amaerica in the year 2006, in recognition of our exemplary commiment to the noble cause of ulifting and rehabilitating the mentally disadvantaged.
