Workshop on ‘Emotional Awareness’ and ‘Stress Bursting activity’ in B.J.Wadia Hospital

On 19th April, Naraindas Morbai Budhrani Trust in collaboration with Counselor of B J Wadia Hospital, and ICMR-Palliative Care have conducted a workshop on *emotional awareness* and *Stress Bursting activity* in B.J.Wadia Hospital at Hematology Oncology OPD. The workshop on emotional awareness, titled ” *Emotion Par Jeet* ,” targeted children aged 10 and above, aiming to help them identify and manage their emotions effectively. Through engaging techniques like Simon Says, Emotion Charades, and Self Work Worksheets, children actively explored their emotions and learned methods for regulation. Notably, the Emotion Charades activity highlighted the diversity of emotional responses to different scenarios, promoting acceptance of individual reactions. Meanwhile, the stress bursting activity, ” *Bum-Chikki-Bum* ,” involved participants from all demographics present in the OPD, including parents, children, and staff. By encouraging participants to list their troubles on balloons and burst them, the activity facilitated a release of stress and promoted emotional awareness.
