As mental health workers, we often hear, 'Humarey Zamaney main toh ye sab masle nahi they.' While this can be uncomfortable, it's not irrefutable. This workshop offers an opportunity to explore practices employed by our 'buzurg' to stay mentally healthy. These practices include developing self-awareness through language, self-regulation through handicrafts, and self-esteem through spirituality. The workshop is for adults (18+) and should be capped at 20 participants.
Passionate about the field of Mental Health since a very young age, I have been avidly working towards creating awareness to fight the stigma around it in our society. From working with children with special needs to conducting adult group therapy sessions and leading the mental health department of an NGO based in Lyari, I have tried to play my role in making mental health more accessible in Pakistan. Currently, I'm working on a community based initiative Bayaan PK to indigenise mental health tools and resources.
