Breaking the cycle

There is still a stigma prevailing in our culture that asking for help is a sign of weakness. We are scared to be vulnerable.
We are too preoccupied with our busy schedules to care about our well-being, let alone listen to the struggles of a friend or another person. In often cases we do not even fully understand our own needs and the reasons for our pain.
Our mentality and perception are in the way of making society more inclusive and supportive. 
During this training course, we want to talk about emotions, traumas, our inner selves and grow empathy for ourselves and others.
