About StepUp Rehabilitation

Our Journey

Back in 2004, Rudrapur was a remote area where mental health awareness was almost nonexistent. Recognizing this gap, we embarked on a journey to bring change. Through continuous efforts, dedication, and hard work, we have been striving to create a community that understands and prioritizes mental well-being.

Today, we stand as a beacon of support, fostering awareness and providing guidance to those in need. Our mission remains strong—to ensure that mental health is acknowledged, understood, and supported in every way possible.
