Komunitas Peduli Skizofrenia Indonesia (KPSI), or Indonesia Community Care for Schizophrenia, was started in 2007 by Bagus Utomo to provide advice and assistance to people with schizophrenia and their families.

Over the years, KPSI branches have opened in over 10 cities and rural areas, offering people affected by mental illness and their caregivers the solace and support they need to get treatment and avoid caregiver burnout. Bagus hopes to expand the efforts of KPSI to every province in Indonesia so that more people living with mental illness are better able to tackle the daily struggles of societal stigma and discrimination.
