BARRIERS AND SUPPORT TO IMPLEMENTATION Paliadelis et al, (2005), in their study outlined various barriers to family centered care. In his study, lack of understanding of the concept of family centered care, lack of guidelines and policies and hospital management misunderstanding the presence of family to mean less work for staff. Furthermore, inadequate staff coupled with time constraints which can translates into poor motivation due to work overload was also identified as a barrier to the success of family centered care.

1.1 Introduction An orphanage is a housing institution dedicated to the care of orphans – children whose parents are dead or not capable or not willing to care for them. Organic/biological parents, and sometimes organic grandparents, are lawfully responsible for sustaining children, but in the nonexistence of these, no named godparent, or any other relatives willing to care for the children, they become a ward of the state, and orphanages are one way of providing for their concern, shelter and education.

There is lack of resource and access to health care facilities in remote areas. People who are in desperate need for treatment are often mistreated, violated and not given any guidance or help as to how to avail the facilities of mental health care. In developing countries, like India, people suffer on a large scale from common mental illnesses but even these are left untreated.
