Self and Collecting Care
At Vishakha, we believe that individual wellbeing is critical — each person’s emotional, physical, and social health forms the foundation of our collective strength. Our work recognises that personal experiences and community realities are interconnected;healing emerges when both are held with care.
Rooted in empathy, dignity, and shared responsibility, our approach nurtures safe spaces topause, listen, and support one another. We honour everyday wisdom, encourage reflective practices, and prioritise relational care as essential to building resilient communities.
We offer & ensure :
We provide affordable, nutritious meals to ensure that our team is supported in their daily lives.This small act of everyday care nurtures wellbeing and reduces financial stress.
We prioritise mental and emotional wellbeing within our organisation and communities. For our team, we offer access to counselling support. Those who choose to seek external therapy are provided time and partial financial support to make this care accessible. At the community level, our Hamkadam Centre offers psychosocial support to individuals experiencing distress, helping them access safe spaces, guidance, and care pathways
We facilitate guided group spaces for grounding, sharing, and collective care. Through art, movement, and storytelling, participants explore healing and reconnect with themselves.
Vishakha ensures that its team is supported with social security and organisational policies that safeguard their wellbeing. This includes access to benefits and entitlements that strengthen safety, stability, and dignity, helping staff and their families plan for their future.
We bring together youth, elders, and community members to exchange stories, wisdom, and experiences. These dialogues create deeper understanding, belonging, and stronger social bonds.
Each year, we gather to pause, reflect, and renew our collective energy. The retreat creates space to restore, celebrate our journeys, and envision the way forward.
