Indonesia Mentality Care

Indonesia Mentality Care was first established by a psychiatrist and his patient to raise awareness about mental health and to bridge the gap between the public and mental health knowledge and industry. Now, the community-based organisation consists of professionals (psychiatrists and psychologists), university students and people who are diagnosed with mental health related problems.

Summary of relevant work

Free Mental Health Consultation Booth

We regularly (per quarter) open a mental health consultation booth in local arts and crafts markets within Jakarta. Volunteering professionals in our booth, psychologists and psychiatrists, are available to do a screening for mood disorders (most common in Indonesia) and to listen to any mental health concerns/questions from individuals who came to our booth. If needed, recommendations for future clinical treatments would be given and elaborated to the individual.
