This video in Tamil is about Caregivers & Self-Care: For persons who support those with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

It is based on the handout created by Mrs. Shanthi Rajmohan (Sundram Fasteners Limited Fellow), under the aegis of Banyan Academy of Leadership in Mental Health (BALM).

She speaks about the four pillars of wellness, daily strategies to stay healthy, mindfulness and more.

This video will help families and caregivers with ways to manage daily life while caring for the CKD individual.

Mrs. Shanthi Rajmohan also facilitated conversations with caregivers through support circles for families at Tamilnad Kidney Research (TANKER) Foundation’s dialysis centres in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

The video was produced by Jebin John Samuel and Thiyagarajan J, MSW students at Madras School of Social Work (MSSW) with Shanthi Rajmohan and Veneet Correa (Communications, The Banyan). Meera Sanjiv helped to create the handout.

BALM is grateful to SFL for the fellowship, and volunteers from TANKER Foundation, DIPA & MSSW.

Mrs. Shanthi Rajmohan is a resilient woman who has been on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis for 21 years and TANKER Foundation salutes this woman of strength.
