Christmas Wishes from Helping Hand Psychological Hospital

Christmas arrives not only with lights and carols,
but with a gentler gift, the reminder that healing is possible.

In a world that often rushes past pain,
we choose to pause.
We choose to listen.
We choose to care.

This season, we honor every brave heart that chose to heal,
every silent tear that turned into strength,
and every small step that became a great victory.

May this Christmas wrap your mind in peace,
your heart in hope,
and your life in quiet courage.

From all of us at Helping Hand Psychological Hospital,
we wish you a season of inner calm, renewed strength,
and a New Year filled with emotional clarity and gentle beginnings.

Because sometimes the greatest miracle of Christmas
is simply learning to breathe freely again.

Baking is more than just mixing ingredients; it's an art form. It's a recipe for connection, mindfulness, and accomplishment. Day 2 of Christmas prep with our Helping Hand family was a cookie-baking bonanza.

From measuring and mixing to the colorful fun of decorating, every step was a moment of shared focus and festive creativity. The real treat was seeing everyone's unique creations and smiles!

Field Visit by Gampaha Wickramarachchi University Students

On 12th December 2025, Helping Hand Psychological Hospital had the pleasure of hosting fourth-year undergraduate students from the BSc. (Hons) in Yoga and Parapsychology programme of Gampaha Wickramarachchi University of Indigenous Medicine.

We extend our special thanks to Dr. Harini N.Dc Zoysa, Head of the Department of Indigenous Health Sciences, for her initiative and collaboration in organizing this valuable field visit.

The visit provided these future professionals with firsthand exposure to a clinical therapeutic environment, allowing them to observe modern approaches in mental health assessment and management. Our team of psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists engaged with the students, sharing insights and practical knowledge that bridge academic learning with real-world practice.

We are committed to supporting education and training in mental health disciplines and were delighted to contribute to these students' professional growth. We look forward to future academic partnerships with the University.

Helping Hand Psychological Hospital remains dedicated to inspiring the next generation of mental health practitioners through meaningful clinical exposure and shared learning.
