The mental health platform of Techno India Group, Monoshij, founded by Prof. Manoshi Roy Chowdhury (Co-chairperson of Techno India Group), in collaboration with the NGO Shumpun Foundation, is making significant strides in the lives of families with special needs children. This partnership has established a sanctuary for mothers, providing essential support and resources to help them navigate the complexities of parenthood while managing their mental health.
For the past year, Monoshij and Shumpun Foundation have worked tirelessly together, focusing on delivering mental health support through specialized programs designed to empower mothers of special needs children and help them become more resilient in the face of life’s challenges.
Key Aspects of the Initiative:
1. Focus Group Discussions:
At the heart of this initiative are focus group discussions specifically tailored for mothers of special needs children. These sessions offer a safe and supportive environment where mothers can share their experiences, challenges, and triumphs. The primary goal is to address their self-care needs, acknowledging the immense pressure and stress they face daily. The discussions explore various mental health needs, with a particular emphasis on managing anger and frustration, emotions commonly experienced by parents navigating the unique challenges of raising special needs children.
2. Practical Parenting Support:
Another crucial aspect of the program is supporting mothers in their journey through parenthood. The discussions provide practical advice on dealing with criticisms and finding balance in their lives. By sharing their experiences and receiving guidance, these mothers can approach their parenting roles with renewed confidence.
3. Building Resilience:
Resilience is a key theme of the program, aiming to prepare mothers to face life’s challenges head-on. By fostering a supportive community and providing practical coping strategies, Monoshij’s mental health program helps mothers build the resilience needed to handle criticisms and setbacks with grace and confidence.
Impact and Future Plans:
The program has been running for a year with remarkable success. Many mothers have reported significant improvements in their overall well-being. The positive impact of these sessions has encouraged Monoshij and Shumpun Foundation to continue their collaboration into the current year, with plans to expand and enhance the program further.
Monoshij and Shumpun Foundation remain committed to their mission of empowering mothers of special needs children. Their dedication to providing vital mental health support and fostering a resilient community is transforming lives and creating a brighter future for these families.
