Setting Oneself Free! - Stress Management Workshop for Domestic Workers 7-7-17

Under Basic Skill Self Enhancement program; Centre for Social Action along with Partner organization Salvation Community Centre has organized the 3rd session on Stress management on 7th July 2017. 

A total 21 domestic workers (women) actively attended the session. Dr. Evelet Sequeira was the resource person; who conducted the session and shared 3 techniques of stress management – Learn to be stress free i.e. Breathing technique, Sound technique and Dance technique.

The Resource person also shared the story of an elephant who is tied to a chain. The Elephant still believes that the rope can still hold him, so he will never try to break free.” The visit to the zoo was amazed to note that these animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were. Like the elephants, many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.


After the end of the session one of the women expressed all her emotions in front of the whole group and at then at the end all 8 women individually meet with the resource person to discuss about their personal issues to get solutions on the same.
