Amics del Nepal is dedicated to the holistic well-being of its youth through a comprehensive approach that includes health-oriented workshops, guest speaker sessions, and the distribution of hygiene packages. On August 14th and 15th, we organized events for the Social Week and Social Hour projects, where 22 youths received hygiene packages containing essentials like socks, an umbrella, a water bottle, perfume, sunscreen, and a face towel. These distributions aimed to promote healthy living and foster a culture of health consciousness among the participants.
The mental health sessions were a vital component of these events, emphasizing self-discovery, emotional awareness, and open communication. The first session, held on August 14th for Social Week youths, featured interactive exercises to help them explore their emotions and recognize the importance of seeking support. The follow-up session on August 15th, for Social Hour youths, was part two of a series that began the previous year in SW11. The session further guided the youths in identifying different emotions, breaking the stigma around negative feelings, and developing emotional self-care techniques.
These initiatives not only heightened mental health awareness but also provided practical self-care strategies, fostering a nurturing and supportive environment. By integrating such activities into our programs, Amics del Nepal underscores its commitment to holistic development, ensuring ongoing opportunities for growth that support both the physical and emotional well-being of the youth.
This project is possible thanks to the support of all the members of Amics de Nepal and the collaborating partners:
