**About the Anandam Project**

**Anandam** is a **first-of-its-kind Day Care Center in Bihar**, designed to offer **non-residential, center-based eldercare** for seniors with chronic conditions, while simultaneously reducing the burden on family caregivers.

- Conduct mental health screenings and assessments of seniors.
- Provide individual and group counselling sessions for elders and caregivers.
- Support dementia clients with cognitive stimulation activities and behaviour strategies.
- Organize emotional wellness workshops and peer support groups.
