Honouring the Silent Strength Behind Recovery
Every year on 10th September, SAA observes
Caregivers’ Day on the birth anniversary of
founder Dr. Jagannath Wani — himself a caregiver
who transformed personal struggle into a movement of compassion,
dignity and support for families living with mental illness.
The day is dedicated to recognising the emotional resilience,
patience and lifelong commitment of caregivers who support their
loved ones through recovery journeys that are often unseen by society.
Why Caregivers’ Day Matters
Caregivers are often the emotional, financial and social backbone for persons living with mental illness. This day creates awareness about their challenges while building a culture of empathy, support and community care.
Recognition
Acknowledging the invisible emotional labour and sacrifices made by caregivers every single day.
Support & Guidance
Bringing together mental health experts, families and support groups for meaningful discussions and learning.
Community Togetherness
Creating safe spaces where caregivers can share experiences, reduce isolation and find collective strength.
