Terisa Tamang: Addressing the Psychological Gaps in Cancer Care in Nepal

Terisa Tamang, Founder, President and Counselor of Dhairya Cancer Foundation, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“In Nepal, cancer treatment largely focuses on physical health, while the psychological needs of patients and caregivers remain under-addressed.

During the session, we explored how parents, especially, carry silent emotional burdens, hiding their pain to stay strong for their children.

I am committed to integrating psychosocial support and creative therapeutic approaches like art and threads into cancer care.

This is still a neglected area in Nepal, but also a space where meaningful, pioneering change is possible.

Grateful to everyone who supported this initiative.”
