What's in it for you when you help without expecting anything in return? Whether it’s your time, kindness, or simply a listening ear, you’re nourishing your own mind and heart too.

Your stress reduces, your mood lifts, and your sense of self-worth grows stronger. Giving helps to reduce loneliness and can even improve physical health.

Every act counts. Each act may seem small, but inside you, it creates ripples of happiness and calm. Go ahead and get your "helper's high"!

Here's a rather simple but important message that could change your life. Today, we are talking about the benefits of altruism, meaning, being kind without expectations.

Altruism refers to behavior that benefits another person or reduces their distress without any extrinsic advantage—and often a cost to you. So why do it?

For the feeling of wellbeing, of course. Nothing feels better than giving selflessly, even if you've got less. Research says that the act of giving cuts off negative emotions. Try it today and let us know how you feel.

Hello amazing woman, your healing matters. You carry so much - responsibilities, emotions, silent pain, and invisible strength. But have you had a space just for you?

Our women’s group therapy sessions happen in the lap of nature at Sowaka. By the quiet river, under the trees, where the breeze whispers gently and your heart can finally rest.

You're allowed to show up exactly as you are. Be it tired, hopeful, confused, or strong. Together, we speak. We listen. We cry. We breathe. We heal.

As men, we’re taught to “handle it,” stay silent, stay strong. But strength doesn’t mean silence. You don’t need to have the right words and nor do you have to explain everything.

Men’s group therapy, held outdoors at Sowaka by the river, is a space where honesty is welcome. You’ll be with other guys who also carry stories of heartbreak, confusion, anger, or the weight of life.

This is not about fixing you. It’s about freeing you. Comment below to enquire about your group session today.

Outdoor group therapy helps reduce stress, improve focus, and boost your mood. You're not inside four walls. You’re in the open, listening to birds, feeling the ground under your feet.

And the best part? You’ll realise you’re not alone. There are others your age who get it. Healing becomes easier when you’re surrounded by nature and people who care.

At Sowaka, you don’t have to “fix” yourself. You'll have space to be you. Want to organize a group session for your peers? Comment below.

What happened to you was not your fault. At Sowaka, our outdoor group therapy facility, held beside a peaceful river under the open sky, trauma survivors can come together in gentle community.

Surrounded by trees, fresh air, birdsong, and flowing water, your nervous system softens. Nature teaches regulation, rhythm, and resilience. The river flows. Trees stand tall. Earth holds your weight.

No rush. No pressure. Just presence. Just listening. Just being. You can rebuild trust in your body, in others, in life itself. Ask us about Sowaka.

According to Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Australia (PANDA), up to one in ten women experience pregnancy-related depression.

Up to 80 percent of women feel teary, irritable, overly sensitive, moody or overwhelmed after giving birth. Postnatal depression can occur between one month and up to one year after having a child.

The good news is that with support and treatment, women are likely to have a healthy pregnancy and baby. If you are pregnant and don't feel adequately supported, reach out to us at Chetana today.

Pregnancy is often seen as a rosy time when a woman is pampered and showered with love from friends, family and her spouse. But this is not always the case.

Research on mental health traditionally focused on issues after childbirth. But today, importance is being given right from conception, to antenatal care, to labor, to the postpartum period.

Children born to mothers who suffer from depression risk being low-birth-weight babies. Poverty, overpopulation, overcrowding, and poor hygiene can also adversely affect the mother's mental health.

Just found out you are pregnant? Most women know that they need to take care of their physical health. But what can you do to maintain your mental wellbeing?

Know when to stop and rest. Avoid major changes such as shifting houses or switching jobs. Do regular exercise and never skip meals. Spend time with close friends.

To-be fathers can also exhibit stress-related behaviour caused by anxiety about fatherhood. Our advice is to connect with other expectant parents and support each other.

When you find out you are going to be a mom, any time on your watch is baby o'clock. As much as a pregnancy can be an exciting time, there will also be emotional and mental challenges.

Anticipation about motherhood can lead to stress and worry about the future. This is normal. But mothers-to-be are also at risk for higher levels of depression and anxiety during this time.

We are here to support in your nine-month (and beyond) journey. If sadness sets in and doesn't go away, reach out to us today.

The emotional wellbeing of senior citizens is crucial to their quality of life. Emotionally secure older people are more likely to fight off infections and have a stable immune system.

Mental wellbeing in the elderly also leads to better cognitive function, lowering the likelihood of memory disorders and cognitive decline. So why not do our part to sustain their quality of life?

Our volunteers bring a sense of belonging and emotional support to seniors every week, ensuring that they build resilience and increase their levels of happiness.

Nothing is more valuable than giving back to our elder community. These are the people who raised us, but unfortunately, they are often neglected in our modern way of life.

Many older people are not only victims of their mental capacity, but are also burdened with caring for their elderly spouse, which creates strain and stress.

With this in mind, Chetana has banded a group of volunteers who visit the elderly once a week to provide comfort, relief and a shoulder to cry on.
