 Activities aimed at rehabilitation of the residents are given all importance, with minimal usage of medication. Besides Pharmacotherapy, the rehabilitation program at Cadabam'S employs a variety of activities structured as well as unstructured designed to stimulate the residents to try to overcome their deficiencies and bring up their latent and eclipsed talent, intellect and skills, Emphasis is laid on engaging them in programmes of their interest and also involve them in such activities towards which they have no natural inclination, but is felt necessary in the interest of their overall development. From intellect stimulating jam sessions, quiz, debate, impromptu, group discussions, essay writing, story-telling, art play and music sessions, computer & internet, to those involving body movements like physical culture exercises, relaxation exercises, emotional therapy, gardening etc., are also a part of their daily routine. All these activities are carefully planned and coordinated both for individuals as well as groups.
 Painting and hobby workshops are conducted and the selected paintings are framed and exhibited at our office, living blocks and also are kept for public view & sale in our ‘Neeraja’ outlets. The residents are also taught new skills in other handicrafts, tailoring, screen printing, all is planned carefully keeping in mind their interests, capability and talents. Paper craft, embroidery, beadwork, knitting etc., are some of the activities regularly conducted.
Another important area of our rehabilitation programme is the involvement of residents in decision making process. Community meetings are held regularly & residents are encouraged to express their views on activities, programmers, facilities food etc.

| COUNSELING & FAMILY INVOLVEMENT |
 The counselors meet their clients and also family members on visit, in their cabins, which provide the much needed privacy to counseling sessions. Reports on counseling and information gathered in the interviews with the residents and family members are kept confidential and no unauthorized revelations are made. Counselors also are in contact with families through letters & telephone.
Cadabam'S believes and considers family intervention and support is an essential ingredient of rehabilitation efforts, but not “Interference” by the family and friends in its psychotherapy programs. The families will be free to exchange their views with the counselor and gather information on the progress or otherwise of the resident. Keeping long term interest of the residents’ in view family interference is discouraged in areas which are purely technical coming in the domain of professionals. Counselors write to the families regularly on the mental & physical health of their wards, besides important happenings in the campus. Everyday the families can talk to the counselors and their wards on phone between 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. |
