On the occasion of World Health Day on 7th April 2022, Volunteer for Change organized a session on 'Mindfulness Practice: Managing Your Emotions' virtually carrying the slogan of “Health comes first”. In this session, we kept mental well-being at the forefront and the participants got a chance to experience mental well-being by practicing mindfulness.  

The main speaker for the program was Mr. Ekal Silwal from ICAP, who is also a longtime mindfulness practitioner. He shared different tools and techniques such as deep breathing exercises, the art of knowing yourself, and the self-grounding technique. These tools helped participants to address their problem and cope with them. Shrisha Nepal, the initiator of Monday Mental Health (MMH), also spoke on the purpose behind starting MMH. The session was moderated by Pranav Raj Regmi, the Youth Engagement Officer at CREASION. Overall 25+ youths from various backgrounds participated in the program. Insightful sharing between the participants and speakers regarding mindfulness practice, and personal experiences were addressed & discussed in the end.
