Cause of Our Joy
COOJ Mental Health Foundation is a registered Charitable Trust that works towards promoting mental health and providing for psycho-social rehabilitation services in Goa.
Through our rehabilitation programs, our clients have seen more productive days by being exposed to a positive and healthy learning atmosphere. Many have gone ahead into supported or open employment.
Through our Continued Education Program, student drop-outs have been assisted into completion of their education.
We were the proud recipients of the Vincent Xavier Verodiana Award, instituted by Dom Martin of the United States in the year 2006 in recognition of our exemplary commitment to the noble call of uplifting and rehabilitating the mentally disadvantaged.
