World Humanitarian Day - 2020

Image
On World Humanitarian Day, 19 August, we pay a special tribute to the real-life heroes – humanitarians and front-line workers who are doing extraordinary things to help people whose lives have been turned upside down by crises, including COVID-19!! The psychosocially challenged population is especially in need of help. It is specifically and especially during these trying times that the GWRM – GL OBAL WOMEN’S RECOVERY MOVEMENT LED BY DR. LAVANYA SESHASAYEE is doing what it is most suited to do in the field of mental health: looking at mental health issues via a woman-empowering, client-empowering perspective and reaching out to the lost. And we are reaching out to caregivers of women with psychosocial challenges who are most hard-hit along with their wards.

We need to adopt a new approach towards addressing social and stress-related problems that can escalate into mental health problems if not treated at an early stage thus causing unbearable anguish both to the youth and the family. After all, anyone of our child ren can succumb to a psychosocial disability when faced with innumerable pressures and tragic misfortunes if they don’t have a shoulder to lean on or an environmental buffer to absorb their emotional shocks. It is important for mental health therapeutic systems to be sensitive too.

It's a time when persecution was rampant, freedoms were denied, evil was everywhere, and when there was a threat to his life by his uncle King Kansa. Immediately following the birth at Mathura, his father Vasudeva takes Krishna across the Yamuna, to foster pa...
