Under the able leadership of Dr. Manish S. Kansal (CMD), the Shanti Home was founded in 2007 by a group of mental health professionals. After having graduated with a medical degree from B.J.M.C. Pune, Dr. Kansal pursued a postgraduate degree in psychiatry from G.S.M.C. and KEM Hospital Mumbai. A leading psychiatric specialist in Delhi, he has a wide variety of experiences. Additionally, Dr. Kansal is the first Indian Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist (ADS) who was trained under Dr. Smith, Chairperson of the National Association of Drug Abuse (NADA), USA. Moreover, Dr. Kansal has actively participated in the Delhi Psychiatric Society (DPS) as General Secretary (2003-09), Vice President (2010-12) and President (2012-14).

Dr. Kansal’s process approach has enabled the Shanti Home team of psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, psychiatric social workers, and vocational trainers to help clients with mental health problems, substance use disorders, and psychosocial problems over the past few years. At Shanti Home, we provide psychiatric care, along with psychological and social support to both patients and their families to help reintegrate patients with mental health disorders back into society as productive members.
