Women often experience mental health issues differently than men. This difference manifests in the form of symptoms, progression of the condition, severity and treatment response. In such a scenario, a generalized treatment plan cannot be effective for females. Therefore, Athena OKAS offers specialized care and personalized support to help females heal at their own pace.

Athena OKAS focuses on mental, physical, emotional and spiritual support for females recovering from mental health disorders. Our females-only setting allows women to talk about topics central to their being without the fear of judgement. This can be especially therapeutic to those who may be uncomfortable in a mixed gender residential setting.

In a female-focused facility, women get to meet other women going through similar challenges and situations. This gives them a feeling of solidarity and enables them to draw strength from each other thus cultivating lifelong support systems. Research has also shown that women, who bond well with their mentors and other women in recovery, enjoy better and lasting treatment outcomes.

When experiencing mental health challenges, women often face stigma and discrimination. This fosters feelings of shame, guilt and hurt in them. Athena OKAS offers a warm, friendly and confidential female-only space for such women to explore their mental health issues and take positive steps in the direction of their recovery. This goes a long way in encouraging them to take back control and start rebuilding their lives.
