INTEGRATED PSYCHOLOGICAL & HEALTH ALLIED SCIENCES COUNCIL

What is IPHAS?

IPHAS is a national, non-statutory professional council dedicated to advancing Integrated Health in India - with Psychological Science at it's core. We believe health is not fragmented. Mental health is not seperate from medicine. Well-being is not a luxury - it is foundational. 

IPHAS brings together psychology, mental health, occupational therapy, behavioural sciences, yoga, community health, rehabilitation, education, research, preventive sciences and technology innovations (AI) under one integrated framework, ensuring relevance in the modern era. It serves as a hub for research, education, training, skill development, advocacy, and policymaking.

IPHAS is not another association. It is a national movement to redesign health, where psychology leads, research guides, disciplines collaborate, and well-being becomes accessible to every citizen.

OUR VISION

To build an India where integrated health services rooted in psychological science are accessible, affordable, preventive, inclusive, research-driven and community-centered for all. We envision:

  • Schools that nurture psychological resilience
  • Workplaces that prioritize wellbeing
  • Families equipped with mental health literacy
  • Communities empowered with preventive health systems
  • Professionals trained in inter and trans-disciplinary collaboration
  • Training that bridges the gap between academia & Practice
  • AI-assisted systems that extend care to underserved populations
  • A strong national research ecosystem advancing integrated health science

CORE PHILOSOPHY

At IPHAS, psychology is the core science of integrated health. Because:

  • Behavior influences physical health outcomes
  • Cognition shapes lifestyle choices
  • Emotional regulation impacts immunity and recovery
  • Social systems affect wellbein
  • 8 dimensions of Well-being are the central to happy, authentic, peaceful living

Without psychological insight, healthcare remains reactive and fragmented and Integrated health begins with understanding the human mind.
