Reviewing several past researches conducted in India and abroad on the effectiveness of the mental health intervention programme it was assured that these programmes are assets in improving and resolving mental health conditions of the vulnerable masses termed as “orphans”. Such programmes comprised of varied strategies and therapies involving group active play therapy, psycho education, psycho spiritual therapy, group narrative therapy, yogic practices, descriptive study using interview questionnaire, rational emotive behavioural group counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, leisure time activities, spiritual component training and family based economic strengthening. Studies in the similar area have disclosed that when such programmes were administered for a certain period of time on the susceptible groups they improved which was apparent from their pre and post test scores therefore contributing towards the significance of these programmes.
