Introduction

About NSRC

The National Solution and Research Centre (NSRC) is a mental health and social wellbeing-focused organization guided by a simple belief—every mind deserves to be heard, understood, and cared for. Living by our motto, "A Friend in Need," we work to nurture emotionally healthy children, resilient young people, and compassionate communities.

We believe that the journey of mental wellbeing begins long before young people step into the responsibilities of adult life. The love they receive, the relationships they build, the guidance they experience, and the spaces where they feel safe become the quiet foundation on which they face the world. When we care for young minds today, we shape stronger lives for tomorrow.

While children and young people remain at the heart of our mission, we also support caregivers, educators, health professionals, workplaces, and communities through mental health awareness, self-care, and stress management programs. Because when one person's mental health improves, the lives around them quietly begin to heal as well.

Over the years, NSRC has walked alongside communities across 12+ districts of Nepal, reaching more than 12,000 people through awareness programs, workshops, training, and community engagement. Every conversation has reminded us that real change rarely begins with grand actions, it begins when someone feels heard, when understanding replaces judgment, and when a community chooses compassion over silence.

Our work strengthens parents, teachers, caregivers, and communities through positive parenting, Early Childhood Development (ECD), Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), child psychology, peer support, bullying prevention, and mental health awareness. By supporting the people who shape a child's world, we help create environments where children feel safe, valued, and free to become their best selves.

Behind NSRC is a young, passionate, and multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, psychosocial counselors, therapists, mental health social workers, doctors, and case workers united by one shared purpose to make mental health care more accessible, more compassionate, and more human.

Together with local governments, schools, and educational institutions, we continue to build mentally healthy schools through leadership sessions, teacher training, student workshops, parent engagement, and continuous advocacy. We believe every child deserves to learn in a place where they feel emotionally safe, accepted, and understood.

NSRC also provides CTEVT-affiliated six-month Psychosocial Counseling training, psychotherapy, family and child counseling, psychosocial assessments, research, and professional casework, helping strengthen both preventive and therapeutic mental health services across Nepal.

At NSRC, we believe lasting change begins with the smallest acts—a listening ear, a kind word, a safe space, or the courage to ask, "How are you, really?"

Let's care for our own mental wellbeing, and let's stand beside others on theirs. Together, we can build a future where no one has to struggle alone.

Because, Mental Health Matters.

Our Vision
A Nepal where every child grows up in an environment built to support them — where research-driven solutions, trained communities, and accessible support come together to help children, and the people raising them, overcome life's challenges and thrive.

Message From Director

At the heart of every human journey lies a quiet wish — to be heard, to be understood, and above all, to be helped when it matters most. At NSRC, we honor that wish.

As the first case work-based organization in Nepal, the National Solution & Research Centre was born from a simple yet powerful belief: that support, when offered with empathy and purpose, can change lives. Whether through one-on-one case work, thoughtful research, or healing mental health workshops, our work is rooted in compassion and guided by evidence.

Our motto, “Friend in Need,” is more than a phrase. It is a promise — to walk beside those navigating challenges, to amplify unheard voices through research, and to spark light in the lives we touch through every workshop, every story, and every solution we craft.

We are dreamers and doers. We listen deeply, think critically, and act mindfully. Through every project we undertake, we aim to bring not just service, but soul — blending science with sensitivity, and vision with value.

To our partners, supporters, and all the kind souls who believe in our mission: thank you. The path of change is rarely easy, but it is always beautiful when walked together. :)

With warmth and gratitude,

Built on purpose, knowledge, and empathy, our work spans mental health counseling, change-focused trainings, evidence-based research, and ground-level casework — all delivered with dignity.

Our strength lies not just in what we do, but how we do it: with honesty, humanity, and the belief that even small changes matter. Guided by our motto, “Friend in Need,” we walk beside those who face challenges, offering unwavering support.

NSRC is a symbol of trust and resilience, where solutions are built through listening and collaboration. To everyone in our journey — thank you. To those yet to join — welcome. Together, we can create a Nepal where every individual is seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.

Message From Chief Casework Advisor

In Nepal, casework is a relatively new field, and you might not yet be familiar with its importance. As the first casework organization in the country, National Solution and Research Centre is pioneering this practice to elevate its professional standards.
Facing challenges in life is natural, but knowing whom to approach for support can be daunting. Often, individuals feel overwhelmed, which can negatively affect their health, social relationships, and overall well-being. As Joanne Harris wisely said, “A problem shared is a problem solved.” At NSRC, it embraces this principle by serving as attentive listeners and effective problem-solvers.
Its mission is to offer a compassionate space where you can openly discuss your concerns and receive expert guidance. NSRC is here to support you through your difficulties and work towards a better quality of life.
I, as an advisor ensures NSRC that my support and guidance is always with you to thrive your goal.
Thank you for entrusting NSRC with your journey.
