The Antigua and Barbuda Workers’ Union (ABWU) Women’s Council recently organized a thought-provoking mini-seminar centered on self-care and mental health. Held on Wednesday, the event attracted a diverse group of women from the Union’s membership, all seeking to enhance their quality of life through actionable insights and shared experiences. The seminar featured a compelling presentation by Clinical Psychologist Feona Charles-Richards, who addressed critical topics such as fostering strong sisterhoods, overcoming past traumas, nurturing self-awareness, and embracing mindfulness. Her session was complemented by an interactive discussion where participants exchanged personal stories and strategies to strengthen connections and empower one another. Hazel Luke, the ABWU Women’s Coordinator, further enriched the event with a practical workshop on self-care. Through hands-on exercises, Luke emphasized the importance of focusing on controllable aspects of life to achieve peace and balance. Attendees lauded the seminar as a transformative experience, with one participant describing it as a powerful reminder of self-worth and the value of self-love. This event marked the first initiative since the ABWU Women’s Council’s reconstitution in August, signaling a renewed commitment to advancing women’s development and encouraging their active participation in the workforce. The Council plans to host a series of impactful activities in the coming year, continuing its mission to empower women across all levels of society.
