Project JAMS is being conducted in Tamil Nadu and Odisha and focuses mainly on two sets of populations – Children in Need ofCare and Protection (CNCP) and Children in Conflict with the Law (CCL) at Child Care Institutions (CCI) between the ages of 12 to 18. The former consists of children who have experienced neglect by their caregivers and some ofwhom have also experienced various kinds ofabuse. The latter are alleged to have committed some criminal offense and there is very little research about the mental health ofthis group. This project aims to check the feasibility ofcreating and maintaining a youth-friendly space within the CCIs. This space is used to deliver activities that promote well-being, social skills training, and academic support can be provided. Additionally, the team has created a manual for mental health literacy dedicated to the staf and animated videos for the children educating them about important mental health issues.
