Participants, from teenagers to senior citizens, engaged in group workshops and experiential exercises designed to release stress, improve communication, and encourage mindfulness and healthy coping strategies. Participants gained practical skills applicable to their daily lives, increasing their capacity to support the well-being of their households and, by extension, their communities. This program benefited approximately 50 participants throughout the year directly, and over 500 indirectly (through extension activities by participants).
