Mental Health Volunteering, Sri Lanka
My Travel Story
The mental health facilities in Sri Lanka are heavily under resourced and the native staff in these facilities are constantly under pressure to do a good job, with resources they do not have. By me volunteering I will be playing a vital role in the upkeep of these facilities, whilst gaining valuable insight into a clinical environment. I will be working with adults and children with special needs, physical and mental, and leading english classes with underpriveledged children and adults. Moreover, I will be working in a psychiatric hospital with people who have a variety of clinical disorders.
I chose Sri Lanka to volunteer because the cultural difference from the western world is significantly vast, and it will allow me to experience a different world of how clinical disorders are developed. This experience will be incredibly eye-opening and enriching, and I know I will be able to make a difference in the Sri Lankan community as well.
