Happy Teachers' Day to all those who continue to prioritise love, kindness and care for the next generation as they grow.

Some lessons are about slowing down, trusting the journey, and knowing you don't have to have it all figured out yet. This is to the teachers who remind us of that! 💐

If you are young and feel like everyone else has life figured out...

🤯 They definitely don't!

Having been a counsellor who works with young people, one thing I have been witness to is
'Growing up is not a straight line'. At all.

So, don't walk this 'not a straight line' alone. Give yourself permission to reach out to others for support.

Empowering parents, shaping futures! One small step at a time 👣

When we understand, we can guide. When we guide, we can heal ❤️‍🩹

I am thrilled to facilitate a Substance Use Awareness session for parents for the Neha Lulla Foundation. Together, we're breaking barriers and building a safer tomorrow for our youth.
The engagement and dedication shown by these parents are truly inspiring as we strive to make a positive change in our community. Understanding is the first step towards guiding and healing, and it's heartwarming to witness their commitment to being better-informed guides for their children.

🌼 Do you resonate with any of these? 🌼
Leave a comment with your thoughts...
2022 was a toughie for me. Looking back, I find it hard to identify a big win for myself. Yet, I take these learnings along into 2023. Some were bitter to accept, some a lot easier. Do you resonate with any of these?

I will always remember the words of one of the guest speakers, "Acceptance is not enough. Affirming is more important". The Q***r Affirmative Counselling Practice Course (QACP) was a unique experience that turned my understanding of the society we live in upside down. It made me aware, reflect, question, and realize how privileged I am & how marginalization is a part of every sphere of our lives. Being accepting is one thing, but holding space and affirming for those at the margins, that's what actually counts.

With this course, I feel a lot more equipped to be a q***r affirmative therapist, to provide space and affirm the lived experiences of the q***r folx in particular, and provide for a space that is affirming for everyone.

Mariwala Health Initiative , thank you for providing this training to us, and a special and heartfelt gratitude to my trainers, Shruti , Pooja and Gauri for being who they are and providing us with 'real' information. The information that actually matters.

To taking one small step ahead of another, Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈 & let us ALWAYS LEAD WITH LOVE ❤️
