A special session on “Trauma and Healing” was conducted for the Women’s Group of Deniyaya Top Division on 19th June 2025 at CODESEP, under the Peace Project jointly organized by Caritas SED Galle and CODESEP.

The session, attended by 35 women, was designed to address the unique challenges women face in coping with trauma and to provide tools for emotional and psychological healing. The resource person, Mrs. M.C. Jeewanthika — a nursing officer and specialist in psychology and counseling — led the session with a focus on practical healing techniques.

Participants were guided to identify their personal challenges, explore their inner strengths, and develop effective coping mechanisms. The session also provided an in-depth understanding of various healing methods, encouraging women to take steps towards emotional well-being.

This empowering initiative marked an important step in promoting mental health and resilience among women in the community.
