Nepal also lacks efficient mental health services with limited diagnostic, treatment and availability of human resources to address mental health issues. This project will help promote healthy lifestyle in terms of physical and mental being.Daily Activities- Facilitate workshops on healthy living, such as foods, diet and nutrition.- Reach out to different groups of children and women to facilitate dance sessions or meditation classes.
