A “Self-Love” event was planned by our mental health desk in collaboration with the Chisem Foundation on Friday, April 14, 2022. The event’s main goal is to inspire young people to develop a healthy sense of self-love, which can raise their self-esteem and help them recognize their strengths and limitations and being kind to oneself and their mental health.

The ceremony took place on from 2 pm to 6 pm in Majnu-Ka-Tilla (Delhi’s) Dokham Chushi Gangdruk Hall. Activities that speak to our inner selves were offered by the special guest speaker Dr. Itisha, a professor at Delhi University, Mrs. Tenzin Dawa, and Ms. Ngosh Choedon, a certified therapist. A total number of 72 to 90 people joined the event (47.2% Tibetan and 51.4% Indian), and 77.8% were students.

The program was funded by the United States Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM).
