To mark World Mental Health Day 2025, an informative and interactive session on mental health, stress, stress management, and overall wellbeing was organized at the Adolescent Mental Health Unit, Mental Hospital in Lagankhel. The session was attended by over 35 participants, including in-patient adolescents, their family members, caregivers, and staff members from the adolescent unit.
The session aimed to raise awareness about the importance of mental health and create a supportive environment for adolescents and their families. Discussions were held around understanding the concept of health and mental health, recognizing stress, and learning effective ways to manage stress in daily life. The importance of seeking support and reaching out for help was also emphasized as a key step toward maintaining mental wellbeing.
CWIN Nepal with the support of FORUT – solidaritetsaksjon for utvikling, is very appreciative to support and collaborate in such initiatives that promote mental health awareness and encourage open conversations.
