Delhi Branch:
Guided by CPAA's Total Management philosophy, the Delhi branch recently
started a new initiative - Breast cancer Support Group meetings. Breast
cancer survivors along with their spouses and family members attended a
bi-monthly meeting organized by CPAA, Delhi on 2nd May at All India
Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). Nisha Mahajan, a renowned Kathak
dancer and yoga teacher taught the participants a few breathing
techniques. The high point of the meeting was a session on 'Emotional
hygiene - stress and burn-out'. It was conducted by Vandana Natu, a film
maker and survivor herself. This session helped many women to vent out
their suppressed emotions and bitterness. At the end of the meeting, the
group was so motivated that they unanimously decided to meet again and
keep up the momentum generated by this initiative.
