Healing of the Healers – Mental Health Literacy Workshop
Kshamata, in collaboration with Kindled Spirit and De Montfort University (UK), conducted a Mental Health Literacy Workshop titled ‘Healing of the Healers’ from 24th to 28th February.
This highly interactive five-day session engaged our team in role-playing, personal reflection, games, sharing, and demonstrations, fostering deep learning and self-awareness. It provided a safe space to open up about personal challenges, develop effective coping strategies, and enhance mental well-being—both personally and professionally.
At Kshamata, we believe that supporting others begins with taking care of our own well-being. This workshop strengthened our team’s resilience, self-care practices, and understanding of trauma, equipping them with tools to better serve the women we empower.
