A special session on “Trauma and Healing” was held on 21st June 2025 at Sri Nagarukkaramaya Temple, Thenipita, Deniyaya, under the Peace Project jointly implemented by Caritas SED Galle and CODESEP. The session was designed to address the emotional and psychological challenges faced by women in the aftermath of trauma.

A total of 45 women participated in the program, which provided a safe space for learning, sharing, and healing. The session focused on building awareness of trauma and equipping participants with effective coping strategies.

The resource person, Mrs. M.C. Jeewanthika—a nursing officer with a diploma in psychology and counseling—facilitated the session. She guided participants through various healing techniques and emphasized the importance of recognizing one’s own strengths in overcoming adversity.

This impactful initiative marked an important step in promoting mental well-being and emotional resilience among women in the Thenipita community.
