Our activities include :
Moral support: Offering moral support to individuals with a condition of disfigurement by meeting them and providing useful information on burn injury and social reintegration.
Reintegration Programme: This is an effort to create an environment of social acceptance by conducting different day outs to locations that are perceived as hostile by the disfigured. It is also to create safe spaces for social interaction.
Workshops on Coping Skills: Workshops that help create a safe environment to deal with issues of coping disfigurement post hospitalisation. The workshop will look into addressing body image, self-esteem and self confidence by various experiential learning techniques and sharing of experiences.
Awareness Programmes: Palash feels that there a huge need to advocate the cause of the disfigured and educate society on the impacts of preconceived ideas on physical appearances through seminars, talks, and an online presence.
Referral system / Partnerships: Palash believes to create a holistic impact on the disfigured individual and his family it is crucial to form partnerships with organisations that offer expertise in different services like counselling, legal issues, medical aid, livelihood opportunities, hospitals with burn wards and any other service that can aid in the rehabilitation of the disfigured individual.
