WZOTF launches Mental Health Care Fund for Parsi Irani Zoroastrians
THE WZO TRUST FUNDS
MENTAL HEALTH CARE FUND FOR PARSI IRANI ZOROASTRIANS
Discussions with doctors, psycho analysts, care givers and active social workers have revealed that a /arge number of Parsi / Irani Zoroastrians suffering from mental disorders do not receive the necessary essential care and treatment.
This is attributed mainly due to lack of:
a) Identification of mental health issue,
b) Financial resources required for treatment.
Though The WZO Trust Funds are presently extending support to 14 individuals affected by mental health issues we realize there are many more who require support for which we have now formally launched our scheme through which we will provide assistance to the extent possible to deserving candidates.
Examples of mental health issues are:
1. Difficulty in speaking
2. Late to leam movement, walking, dressing and self-feeding
3. Difficulty in following instructions, poor judgements, memory failures & inability to make decisions.
4. Struggling to develop social skills
5- Aggressive behaviour & Seizures,
6. Difficulty in problem-solving, and expressing emotions
If, we as a community begin to value mental health equally with physical health, it will result in our building a stronger and more resilient Parsi / Irani community ready to face life’s challenges Parsi Irani Zoroastrian families, facing economic challenges, and having members in need of support may feel free to contact:
