Grounding Technique

Grounding is a self-soothing skill used in therapy and for self-care when you may be having a bad day or dealing with a lot of stress, overwhelming feelings, and/or intense emotions. Grounding is a technique that helps keep you in the present and helps reorient you to the here and now and to reality.

World Mental Health Day - 10 October ( Submissions)

World Mental Health Day 2023 is an opportunity for people and communities to unite behind the theme â€˜Mental health is a universal human rightâ€ to improve knowledge, raise awareness, and drive actions that promote and protect everyoneâ€™s mental health as a universal human right. Mental health is a basic human right for all people. Everyone, whoever and wherever they are, has a right to the highest attainable standard of mental health. This includes the right to be protected from mental health risks, the right to available, accessible, acceptable, and good quality care, and the right to liberty, independence and inclusion in the community. As a part of the celebrations, we have received a few submissions on the theme of mental health.
