Gabriela Psychiatry Nurse from Switzerland writes back her experiences as a Nada India volunteer


I am psychiatry nurse working in Switzerland in a clinic for alcoholism and drug dependency. I am doing a volunteer commitment in the Nada India Foundation as a psychiatry nurse, acupuncture and auricolo therapeut.
Currently, I am involved with various network member organization projects of Nada India in Delhi NCR.





-New Life Drug Rehabilitation Center Sultan pur  , South Delhi under supervision of Dr.Uttam Singh
-Karuna Ashram Sohna, Outpatient Clinic, Sohna Haryayan under supervision of Dr.Ajay Vats NADA,ADS. 



-Aman Health Clinic for Homeless, Old Delhi under supervision of Dr.Mukesh
-Vasudev Nursing Care Center, South Delhi
Dr.Roop Sidana Prerana Drug Rehabilitation center at Sri Ganga Nager Rajasthan
My areas of responsibility  are to train the caregivers in auricolotherapy (NADA Protocol) , to school in psychiatric  focus areas as a psychiatric nurse, treatments in auricolotherapy for in-house and outpatient, gathering of stats in NADA Ear-Acupuncture.

The  local students (caregivers) were very much interested and curious  to learn this treatment modality.

The patients at times afraid of the needles. After a few treatment the feedback is positive and they report are, that NADA  acupuncture  has had positive effects on detoxification and well-being. They are more calm, sleeping better and the withdrawal symptoms are  more tolerable.




For me it is a pleasure to stay here in Delhi, working for Nada India Foundation.
The people are extremely helpfully and friendly. The experience with the organization, team work, to come in contact with local people, patience, another culture and health system.
It is a most impressive enrichment experience of my life!

Regards

Gabriela

A statement about Michael Smith by his family

  * A statement about Michael Smith We are respectfully submitting this history as we, his family, experienced it. We hope it is helpful. Deborah Valentine Smith I recently attended an excellent webinar on t he African American History of Acupuncture by  Dr.  Tenisha Dandridge, hosted by Acupuncturists without Borders. The history of Lincoln Hospital and Lincoln Detox in the 1970’s was of special interest to me,  as I participated in much of it and may have a unique perspective, as I was married to Mike Smith at the time.
