About us

Divyarakshalayam is a home for homeless wandering mental patients.

At Divyarakshalayam we provide good care to these persons. Our operations are managed by the donations received from various stakeholders.

Mr. Tomy Mathew, a 24 year old young man had the inspiration to serve the downtrodden, hence he brought a mentally challenged person to his house and started looking after him. This was happened during the year 1994. In 1995 he adopted one more person, and the process continued till the number of persons reached four.It was not possible to accommodate any more persons at home. At this time he put-up the idea of constructing a shelter for them in his family property. With the support of his family members, he started Divyarakshalayam on 15th of June 1996.

What We Do

Psycho Social Interventions

Psycho-social interventions include counseling, which provides a safe space for discussing thoughts and feelings; case management, which coordinates services and resources for comprehensive care; and care coordination, which ensures seamless treatment integration. Relapse prevention focuses on strategies to maintain mental health stability, while psychotherapy addresses underlying psychological issues, fostering healthier thought patterns and behaviors. These interventions collectively support recovery and enhance overall well-being.
