Through creative, recreative and educative programmes, Santhi Bhavan seeks to integrate post-psychiatric patients into the social, cultural and spiritual world.

Therapeutic methods include different occupational therapies like horticultural therapy and small-scale agricultural therapy. These methods help the individual regain his lost attachment to his surroundings. Job oriented programmes such as candle making, soap making, book-binding, umbrella assembling, etc., helps clients regain their lost dignity, and respect towards human labour.

Therapy includes play therapy, music therapy, narrative therapy etc. These help them gradually regain the ability to make friends, interact with each other and relearn the norms of human conduct.

Therapy includes different pedagogical methods focusing on learning, writing and observation. Using simple mass media like newspapers, magazines and television, and through personal dialogue we try to revive their capacity for reading, writing and thinking.

The Occupational Rehabilitation Program is an interdisciplinary, team-based program designed to evaluate and treat injured workers and assists them in getting back to work. The program incorporates physical
conditioning, real or simulated work activities, and medical and psychological treatment, to address both the medical and the occupational needs of each individual.

These therapeutic programmes are undertaken by service minded students from different educational institutions, qualified social workers and appointed cooperators, under the supervision of the Director of Santhi Bhavan. To provide intensive care, the centre adopts group therapy and observes their psychological changes - both deviations and progress from the abnormal stage, if any.
