About Us

Welcome to the Texas School of Mental Health (TSMH).

The Texas School of Mental Health was established by Dr. Girish Lad, a visionary who recognized the significance of mental health way back in 2015, long before it gained widespread attention only after the COVID pandemic.

Even today, mental health experts are still talking about Mental well-being, TSMH was founded in 2018 with the vision of working towards Mental Fitness.

TSMH Finishing School

Numerous reports have underscored a significant gap between the demand for mental health services and the number of available professionals. Traditional academic models are grappling to adapt to the swift evolution of lifestyle and societal complexities.

Regrettably, policymakers and educators have largely disregarded this matter, attributing their silence to perceived minimal demand.

TSMH Center for Psycho-Oncology

TSMH has established an independent Mental Health Center dedicated to providing specialized counseling services. With state-of-the-art infrastructure and a team of experienced, qualified mental health experts, we are committed to bringing smiles to people's faces.

TSMH, in collaboration with the Rising India Research Foundation, has introduced the world's first Independent Center for Psycho-Oncology, located in Pune, India.

Community and Corporate

TSMH stands as a movement, a catalyst for change, and a community of dedicated & passionate experts, presenting to you some essential services. The Texas School of Mental Health pioneered its initial service by fostering awareness through community mental health initiatives. It introduced innovative programs such as "Silly Point: Cricket & Mental Health" and "Gita & Stress Management," which was conducted by the Indian Embassy in the Netherlands.

The corporate mental health initiative of TSMH aims to advocate for the inclusion of comprehensive mental health policies within corporate sectors, aligning them with the standards set for health policies.

Technology & Research

TSMH continuously undertakes research programs in a wide range of mental health fields. The organization employs a range of research techniques, methods and procedures, to generate and disseminate the knowledge required to prevent mental health issues and its consequences.

We are deeply committed to closing the gap between what is needed and what is currently available. It will help to reduce the burden of mental disorders worldwide and to promote mental fitness.
