IDFC FIRST Bank, in partnership with Banyan Academy for Leadership in Mental Health (BALM), supports the capacity building of human resources in the field of mental health services.

Center for Trauma Studies and Innovation

Under this program, we had initiated a pilot center that focussed on understanding the subjective trauma appraisal, estimated the magnitude and explored the nature of the problem while also advocating for better access to trauma informed care.

IDFC FIRST Bank's team FIRST IMPACT, in collaboration with the Center for Trauma Studies and Innovation at BALM, organized a series of workshops aimed at empowering NGO representatives with tools and tips to foster resilience in the workplace.

During these workshops, participants had the opportunity to learn and enhance their mental health awareness and vocabulary. The sessions covered fundamental aspects of mental well-being, including an understanding of risk and precipitating factors. Furthermore, the workshops focused on familiarizing participants with common mental health conditions, including their signs and symptoms. Additionally, valuable information was provided on seeking help and implementing this newfound awareness within the workplace. Overall, these workshops aimed to equip NGO representatives with the necessary knowledge and skills to promote mental health and resilience within their organizations.

Center for Social Needs and Livelihoods

Under this program, we supported the Center for Social Needs and Livelihoods (CSNL), that focussed on developing innovative pathways to livelihood sustenance by increasing access to social entitlements, citizenship documents and job opportunities for people with mental health challenges.

This program was closed in FY 2022-23

Rashmi Aakode's anecdote M.A. Applied Clinical Psychology

I belong to schedule cast community. My father left my mother and me in my childhood and since then my mother is the sole breadwinner of the family, with her limited salary she supported me in my further studies and this scholarship support helped me to reduce financial burden of my mother. It was quite difficult and challenging to complete my studies without this financial support.

Liandimvung's anecdote M.A. Applied Psychology

I am sincerely grateful for receiving this mental health education scholarship, due to which I can focus on my studies. Initially, I had dropped the idea of applying to this college as I knew I would not be able to meet the expenses with my family income. The scholarship helped me to pay for my house rent, electricity bill, travelling expense for fieldwork and food. Thanks to IDFC FIRST Bank for giving me this aid.

Shruti MA Applied Psychology, 2020 batch

IDFC FIRST Bank scholarship is a boon for me as a student. I come from a family that is not financially strong and providing me with a good education was the only goal of my parents; for which they sacrificed their time and money. I used to provide tuition to my locality children to earn money and get into a good college. The scholarship helped me manage my living expenses. I am also using this amount to get books (related to psychology, daily living, and entrance books) and register for certain courses related to psychological therapies to further enhance my skills as a counselor. This scholarship is much needed by students like me who aren’t financially well, struggle to get a good education, and are always stuck in thinking that whether they ever be able to enroll in certain courses that require a huge amount (as psychology workshops, certification and diploma courses have high fees). The scholarship acts as a bridge between me and my goals of life for which I will forever be grateful.
