Self-Care Session for Women’s Group Members of Godawari Municipality–7: Promoting Wellbeing and Resilience

Godawari, 27 September 2026 – The Centre for Women’s Awareness and Development (CWAD), with financial support from AEIN – Aide à l’Enfance de l’Inde et du Népal, organised a Self-Care and Psychosocial Wellbeing Session for women’s group members of Godawari Municipality–7.

Facilitated by psychosocial counsellor Kamala Budhathoki, the session provided a safe and participatory space for women to reflect on their emotional and psychological wellbeing, recognise their personal needs, and explore practical ways to manage stress while balancing their daily responsibilities.

The session covered several key areas, including self-awareness and understanding personal needs, the Self-Care Balance Wheel, the causes and impacts of stress, and relaxation techniques to support emotional wellbeing. Participants also explored practical self-care approaches that can be incorporated into their everyday lives.

Through interactive discussions and reflection, the session encouraged women to prioritise their wellbeing alongside their responsibilities towards their families and communities. It reinforced the understanding that self-care is not a luxury, but an essential foundation for maintaining emotional balance, building resilience, and sustaining active participation in community life.

The session forms part of CWAD’s ongoing efforts to promote women’s empowerment by addressing not only their rights and leadership capacities but also their psychosocial wellbeing. By creating opportunities for women to reflect, learn, and practise self-care, CWAD continues to support them in strengthening their confidence, resilience, and capacity to contribute to positive change in their families and communities.
