New Delhi (India), May 2: Athena Behavioral Health launched its first center in August 2021 with the aim of offering topnotch mental health treatment programs in India. Through the years of its operation, Athena successfully revamped mental health treatment in India bringing it to levels at par with international standards.
Through their treatment journey, the team at Athena felt that females needed more attention and the feeling of being safe to recover completely. They started by dedicating a floor to females at their facility but realized that this was not enough. Despite a dedicated floor, most women were uncomfortable sharing their problems and issues in a mixed-gender setting. When they researched to see if they could collaborate with other female-focused centers to offer better treatment outcomes to their female clients, they were surprised to know that there were no such centers dedicated to female mental health needs in India. Astounded, they decided to take the first step in this direction and launched Athena OKAS, a female-focused residential mental health rehabilitation center.
OKAS, which means ‘Ashray’, is their attempt to offer exactly that to their female clientage. India’s first female-focused mental health treatment center, the team invested a lot of thought and care into designing Athena OKAS to ensure that it is safe for both the young and geriatric population.
