Mental Health Awareness Initiative strongly condemns human rights violations taken place at Vardenis Psychoneurological Boarding House.

We are deeply concerned about the news[source in Armenian] received regarding human rights violations in the healthcare system and discriminative activities at Vardenis Psychoneurologic Boarding House. We express our support and sympathy to the beneficiaries of Boarding House and their families.
