One has to start somewhere, and this is my start!
On the 22nd and 23rd of April, Jade and I facilitated workshops on “Mental Health and Psychosocial Well-being” at the community level in Dhading district for Unnati Nepal.
From attending workshops to leading one as a facilitator—this is what I live for!
Some things went right; a few things could have been better. As Jade says, we live and learn.
A memorable moment was when I asked an elderly woman what came to her mind when she heard “mental health”—she had no answer. But during the closing circle-time activity, she shared that she now had plenty to say about it. This was her beginning too.
Thank you, Team Unnati, for accommodating us and helping us connect with the community. It was an enriching experience.
