She spends her Sunday morning today, cooking for and facilitating the sharing for Komunitas Peduli Skizofrenia Indonesia Jogja's caregivers and consumers together with her team.
I am so glad to finally meet Dr. Tika in person!
Via the practice of nongkrong - Dr. Tika is able to nurture a culture of support among caregivers, persons with mental illness(es) and professionals like herself.
Anthropologist Margaret Mead once said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Social change can happen with combined efforts. To feel supported, to be understood and to realise one is not alone, are human needs that while simple, is profound especially for persons struggling with mental health issues.
I look forward to learning more from her. Striving together towards a world where there's mental wellness for all :)
