Guest: Sumitra Visvanathan, Executive Director, Women's Aid Organisation
From a young age, Sumitra Visvanathan, Executive Director of the Women’s Aid Organisation, was imbued with a strong sense of service towards others in need. This naturally led to her vocation for human rights work, but also profoundly affected her mental health. On this episode of Because Feelings Matter, Sumitra shares how her years as a careworker left her vulnerable to secondary trauma, but also taught her to define boundaries for herself and provide support for her employees.
‘Because Feelings Matter’ is a series that brings you the stories of people and their mental health issues. These stories aim to normalise conversations about mental health, and to show that it’s okay to struggle emotionally and psychologically, but more importantly, to reach out for help.
This series is produced in collaboration with Thrive Well.
If you need emotional support, you can call Befrienders KL 03 7627 2929, or any mental healthcare provider nearest to you.
Presenter: Tee Shiao Eek
Producer: Tee Shiao Eek, Shaikh Hakim
