Kerala rebrands state mental health facilities as 'Happiness & Wellness Centres'
The Kerala government is changing the names of its mental health institutions in Thiruvananthapuram, Thrissur, and Kozhikode to 'Happiness and Wellness Centres'. This transition is intended to improve facility standards while shifting the focus toward emotional health, stress management, counseling, and preventive care. This decision comes after the Kerala High Court expressed concerns regarding the inadequate conditions at these hospitals.
