Healing a Nation

Since the government instituted lockdown in Mauritius, Anjinsen has been working to promote mental wellness using virtual platforms. In collaboration with JCI Quatre Bornes, a community of young active citizens, Anjinsen hosted multiple online wellness sessions with over 50 participants and experts. These sessions covered topics related to “the importance of staying connected, physical exercise and self-care”. In one of the webinars “Stay Safe, Stay Sane” a clinical psychologist focused on how COVID-19 can affect one’s psycho-somatic levels and demonstrated ways to bring down stress and improve mental health. Feedback from participants regarding the webinars and topics were overwhelmingly positive. Anjinsen says he will continue to host the webinars and work hard to increase participation.
