RECREATION AND PSYCHOEDUCATION SESSIONS FOR CAREGIVERS

Caregivers experience significant stress and burden while looking after individuals with mental illness and often require support and guidance to manage burnout. Parivartan organizes recreational activities monthly to alleviate burnout among family members and caregivers. These activities take place in group settings on the first Saturday of each month, chaired by Ms. Seema Gupta, Ms. Sunaina Sachdeva, Ms. Ritika and Dr. Anamika

On the other hand ventilation sessions specifically designed for caregivers who wish to express both their positive and negative emotions to trained professionals. These sessions occur once a month on the first Saturday and are facilitated by Mrs. Lamba. During these sessions, caregivers are provided with a safe and supportive environment where they can openly share their experiences, challenges, and emotions related to caregiving. The aim is to offer caregivers an outlet to release pent-up emotions, receive validation for their experiences, and gain support from both professionals and peers. Through these sessions, caregivers can find solace, relief, and guidance in navigating the complexities of caring for individuals with mental illness.
