Trauma doesn’t just live in our memories, it lives in our bodies.
Tight shoulders. Racing heart. Sleepless nights. Feeling numb or disconnected. These are not just “symptoms,” they are the body remembering what the mind cannot always say.

When the nervous system is stuck in survival mode, healing requires more than words. It needs movement, safety, and gentle reconnection.

Through Dance Movement Therapy, we work to help the body feel safe again, release what’s held inside, and rediscover resilience. 💛

Trauma is often misunderstood. It’s not just stress. It’s not just burnout.
It is a deep wound, emotional, physical, or psychological- that leaves lasting imprints on how we feel, think, and connect with the world around us.

At Kolkata Sanved, our work with Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) acknowledges this truth: that healing is not about “fixing” what is broken, but about creating safe spaces for expression, connection, and resilience.

Understanding trauma is the first step in reclaiming healing. 💛

Every year, more than 700,000 lives are lost to su***de which is the third leading cause of death among youth aged 15–29 worldwide. (WHO)
Behind every statistic are stories of silence, stigma, and pain.

At Kolkata Sanved, we use Dance Movement Therapy to create safe, non-verbal spaces for expression, resilience, and healing. Movement becomes a language of hope, reminding people they are not alone.

This , let’s change the narrative: with empathy, care, and community, we can save lives. 💛

On 21st August 2025, Kolkata Sanved, in collaboration with SSDC, convened a strategic planning meeting in Mandirbazar Block, South 24 Parganas, to shape the next 5-year roadmap of the Sampoornata Wellbeing Club Project.

For the past six years, this DMT-based initiative has been working to prevent gender-based violence and promote gender equity across 10 Gram Panchayats.

The meeting brought together 45 voices — adolescent girls, youth leaders, police, Panchayat members, teachers, administration, VLCPC members, ICDS supervisors, women, and community representatives — co-creating a collective vision for the future.

The next phase is not only about sustaining impact but also deepening it: amplifying voices, building new narratives for gender equity, and enabling young people and communities to lead change.

Special thanks to Anindita Majumder for facilitating this process with us.
