Suresh Chhetry is the Country Director and Lead Facilitator of mental health and trauma-informed care workshops at Healing Together Nepal.

A former English teacher at Bright Horizon Children’s Home and School in Nepal, Suresh served as a mentor, facilitator, and coordinator of the Life Skills and Leadership Development program (powered by Healing Together from 2015-2018) - a social and emotional literacy, peace-building, and healing circle for youth impacted by trauma.

As a survivor of childhood trauma from extreme poverty and sexual abuse, Suresh lives by the values of hard work, positivity, and compassion. His powerful story of healing and resilience is a profound example of how we can heal ourselves and others through love and connection. Suresh has an MA in English, an MPhil, and a postgraduate diploma in school counseling from Tribhuvan University.

He is also the founder and President of Shiva Shakti Youth Club (Est. in 2006) - an all-volunteer, Nepali-led NGO that supports children’s education, women’s empowerment, and youth empowerment projects in Western Nepal.​

Suresh lives his dream of supporting people to break the cycle of harm and build resilience in their communities.

The Brave Movement will inspire and encourage people to share their story, helping to normalise their experience and to not feel alone. Every child should experience kindness, feel safe, and to have access to education. Teaching children important life skills helps them to grow into better adults. Together we can bring about drastic change, it will be an opportunity to share knowledge and help people heal."
