Production of Video on KOSHISH’s Empowerment Approach and Journey of Peer Support Group Members

KOSHISH is a national-level organization established in 2008 to promote mental health and psychosocial wellbeing in Nepal. KOSHISH is Nepal's leading Organization of Persons with Disabilities (OPD) focused on psychosocial disability. It works to promote the rights, recovery, participation, and inclusion of persons with psychosocial disabilities.

KOSHISH is guided by the principle of “Nothing About Us Without Us” and works through a rights-based, person-centered, and recovery-oriented approach. Its major areas of work include advocacy, community engagement, capacity building, peer support, and promotion of the rights of persons with psychosocial disabilities.

2. Background of the Assignment

Under the Mainstreaming Mental Health through Self-Advocacy (Phase IV) project, KOSHISH is facilitating Peer Support Groups (PSGs) to promote peer support, self-advocacy, rights awareness, confidence, recovery, and participation of persons with psychosocial disabilities.

PSGs provide a platform for members to share their experiences, support each other, learn about their rights, and participate in self-advocacy and community-level activities.

KOSHISH’s approach supports members to move from receiving peer support to becoming active participants in self-help, self-advocacy, leadership, and disability rights movements. Through this process, members may become involved in Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and engage with OPDs, strengthening their confidence, participation, leadership, and ability to advocate for their rights.

KOSHISH plans to document this empowerment journey through a video featuring selected members from Pokhara, Hetauda and Lalitpur. The video will present both individual experiences and the broader approach through which KOSHISH supports empowerment.

The purpose of this assignment is to produce a 20 min high-quality (4K) video documenting the empowerment journey of selected members and demonstrating KOSHISH’s approach from (PSGs to SHGs and engagement with OPDs.
