To facilitate the needs of Family care-givers, a formal Family alliance was formed in 1998. The parents/guardians of the members of Ashadeep's Daycare and Rehabilitation Centre formed the core group of this Family alliance, which also comprised other families. These families were mostly from the lower middle-class strata of society. Monthly meetings were held where local psychiatrists were invited to talk of relevant issues. Ashadeep's alliance of family care-givers of persons with mental illness has been benefiting the members by sharing of knowledge and problems, mutual help during crisis as well as helping economically weaker members in procuring medicines and generally creating awareness in the community.

A Day Care and Recreational Center for the elderly, Prashantiloy came about as a result of the needs felt by a few of the elderly family care-givers of this alliance. The initial Outreach programmes of Ashadeep were facilitated by some family members of the alliance who came from certain outlying areas or suburbs of Guwahati.
