On October 10, in observance of World Mental Health Day, a significant mental health session titled "Finding Her Voice" was held in Nagpur. Organized by Second Beginning in collaboration with Women to Women Connect, the event was led by Dr. Rozina Rana, a psychologist, life coach, and TEDx speaker. The session aimed to empower women to express their emotions and foster healthier interpersonal relationships through open and respectful communication.
Dr. Rana addressed the common tendency among women to suppress their feelings for the sake of family harmony, which can lead to unresolved emotional issues. She stressed the necessity of addressing emotional pain at the right moment, advocating for proactive communication rather than reactive silence. According to her, speaking up is essential for self-respect and emotional health, allowing women to articulate their needs effectively.
The session saw enthusiastic participation from attendees who engaged in meaningful discussions, creating a supportive atmosphere for sharing personal experiences. Dr. Rana encouraged women to prioritize self-care, seek help when necessary, and carve out personal time amidst family obligations. This focus on self-advocacy resonated strongly with the participants, who left feeling empowered.
The event was initiated by Vidhi Jha, a key figure behind Second Beginning, and facilitated by Dr. Swati Giri. The successful organization of the event was supported by core committee members including Deepti Wakade, Dr. Harsha Jharia, Vandana Vyas, Surruchi, and Bhawana Jain, who contributed significantly to the program's execution.
Concluding the session, a powerful message was shared: every woman deserves to be heard, valued, and emotionally supported—not only on World Mental Health Day but every day of the year. This event served as a reminder of the ongoing need for mental health awareness and support for women in the community.
