Our Impact

Tarangini has trained 162 psychosocial counselors through a six-month intensive training program, strengthening the availability of community-based psychosocial support. The program has increased community awareness on psychosocial wellbeing, contributing to a more supportive environment for seeking and providing psychosocial counseling.

It has also promoted self-care practices by helping individuals and communities understand the importance of mental wellbeing, emotional resilience, and self-care in their daily lives. By equipping women working in communities with practical counseling skills and women-centered approaches, the initiative has strengthened women’s leadership in psychosocial support.

Additionally, it has integrated trauma-informed and holistic approaches into community interventions, fostering safer, more compassionate, and supportive spaces for individuals experiencing psychosocial distress.
