5 volunteers organised training to empower 25 psychatric trainers in Malappuram

On October 26, 2023, a remarkable initiative unfolded at Manjeri, Malappuram, where our dedicated volunteer, Shamlath, organized a Psychiatric Day Care Trainers Training Program in collaboration with Chuvadu and The Social Captains. This event aimed to equip psychiatric day care coordinators with essential skills and knowledge, reinforcing their pivotal role in the recovery journey of individuals with psychiatric conditions.

The program was orchestrated seamlessly with the support of five dedicated volunteers who worked tirelessly to ensure its success. Together, they facilitated an impactful training session tailored for 25 psychiatric day care coordinators, creating a space for both theoretical learning and hands-on practice.

The training was designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of managing day care centers effectively. Through a blend of classroom instruction and practical exercises, participants gained insights into the diverse responsibilities of day care coordinators, enhancing their ability to support individuals struggling with mental health challenges.

The significance of this program cannot be overstated. It underscored the vital role played by day care coordinators in helping psychiatric patients regain crucial skills affected by their condition. By focusing on Activities of Daily Living (ADL), the program empowered coordinators to implement strategies that foster independence and improve quality of life.

Beyond the theoretical aspects, the training shed light on various activities and games that coordinators can integrate into their programs to enhance patients' cognitive and motor skills. These interactive methods not only facilitate rehabilitation but also make the recovery process more engaging and meaningful for individuals undergoing treatment.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Shamlath and the team of volunteers for their unwavering dedication and passion for mental health advocacy. Your commitment to enhancing the lives of psychiatric patients is truly commendable, and the impact of your efforts will be felt for years to come.
