The CareForHealth Story
How It All Started?
After returning to Karachi post-graduation, Alizeh Valjee and Lalarukh Haris were struck by the silent struggles of those facing mental health challenges. Stigma and limited resources kept many from seeking help, especially in underprivileged communities. Determined to make a difference, they founded CareForHealth to break barriers in mental health care.
Partnering with JPMC, Civil, and Karvan-e-Hayat, they introduced the Illness Management & Recovery Program (IMR) to support individuals with mental disorders. Beyond clinical care, CareForHealth launched vocational training programs, empowering individuals to reintegrate into society and rebuild their lives—shaping a future where mental health is prioritized, not stigmatized.
The Story Continues
COVID-19 emerged in late 2019 and became a global pandemic in early 2020. Amidst the challenges posed by the global pandemic, CareForHealth faced a unique set of obstacles.
It was during these trying times that Ambreen Bashir Haris, a seasoned professional with a background in applied psychology and business administration, joined the organization as its CEO.Ambreen brought a wealth of experience to the table, having worked in both the mental health sector, academic and corporate world. Her deep understanding of applied psychology allowed her to empathize with the struggles individuals faced, while her business acumen provided a strategic vision for CareForHealth’s growth.
Ambreen Bashir Haris’s tenure as CEO not only steered CareForHealth through unprecedented times but also solidified its position as a transformative force in mental health care. Under Ambreen’s leadership, CareForHealth embraced technological solutions, implementing virtual counseling sessions to ensure continuity of care when physical interactions were limited. Now CareForHealth also offers in-person sessions as well as family psychosocial support. She leveraged her business administration skills to forge partnerships with local businesses, educational institutes and organizations and expanded the scope to include counselling, psychotherapy, support groups and workshops for mild, moderate to severe mental health problems. To help in capacity building and credibility under the leadership of Ambreen, CareForHealth built a platform of qualified and expert clinical psychologists to provide, affordable, accessible, acceptable and credible mental health resources.
