The leading question is: to what extent does the indigenous narrative of that community about their religious identity differ from existing dominant historical accounts? It examines texts in Malayalam from the Jacobite Syrian Christians, particularly the unpublished 18th century Mathai Vettikkunnel manuscript, in order to investigate the narrative of their religious identity, in the context of existing scholarly discourse.

This issue again is a result of the time, contribution and support of the teachers. Muziris One of the salient contexts in this newsletter is of the field trips. Every year the class 12 students, in their farewell addresses unfailingly mention the deep influences of these trips through their school years. As a precursor to the trip reports in this issue, here are the voices of the students on some of these trips against the backdrop of J Krishnamurti’s thoughts on education. “Education has no meaning unless it helps you to understand the vast expanse of life with all its subtleties, with its extraordinary beauty, its sorrows and joys.” Keepers of the Green – J Krishnamurti, ‘This matter of Culture’, Chapter 1 Estate - Interview “…a sense of relationship in which there is not only a verbal statement of affection and concern but also Junior School this sense of communion which is not verbal.

  • Responsive Mental Health Systems to Address the Poverty, Homelessness
    Narasimhan et al. Int J Ment Health Syst (2019) 13:54 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13033-019-0313-8 International Journal of Mental Health Systems CASE STUDY Open Access Responsive mental health systems to address the poverty, homelessness and mental illness nexus: The Banyan experience from India Lakshmi Narasimhan1,2,3* , Vandana Gopikumar1,2,4, Vaishnavi Jayakumar1,2, Joske Bunders3 and Barbara Regeer3 Abstract Background: Mental health has gained prominence as a global public health priority. However, a substantial treat- ment gap persists in many low- and middle-income countries. Within this scenario, the nexus between homelessness, poverty and mental illness represents a particularly complex issue. This article presents the experience of The Banyan, a 25 years old non-proft organisation providing mental health care to people living in poverty in Tamil Nadu, India. Case presentation: The case study describes the evolution of The Banyan using a timeline narrative. By applying an action learning framework, the organisation’s evolution through four lifecycles, strategy and the key elements under- lying mental health system responses are identifed and presented. ‘User centred’ and ‘service integration’ emerge as the main dimensions of The Banyan’s responsive health system. Relating to these two attributes, a typology of services is derived, indicating the responsiveness of mental health systems in addressing complex problems. The role of the organisational culture and the expressed values during the transition is considered. Conclusions: The case study serves as an example of how responsive mental health systems may be constructed with both a user centred and a service integration focus. Keywords: Homelessness, Mental health, Health systems, User centred, Service development, Transition management Background health systems defcits, stigma and multidimensional Mental health has gained prominence as a global pub- poverty persist and prevent access to care.
