THE MINDS CONTINUAL MENTAL HEALTH INTERVENTIONS

The Mental Health improvements initiative in community and schools are leading programs the MINDS Foundation is delivering to reduce the stigma and discrimination around mental health.

Students are more vulnerable to mental health issues due to variety of reasons like hormonal changes, puberty period, educational boredom, peers’ pressure, social and family life issues, self-image, and romantic relationship issues.

The School Mental Health Education Programs of the MINDS foundation helps adolescents (students) to understand the factors affecting mental health and breaking the stigma around it. The program imparts knowledge on how the stress, anxiety and depression can be reduced with right help, talking about mental illness and one’s feelings and asking for help. The program encourages students to stop bullying and treat children with special need / their colleague equally and with empathetic support.

Educational, personal and personality related counselling has also been provided during the school mental health education programs. MINDS dedicated field social workers have delivered the program using sensitization and strong appealing skills to eradicate mental health misconception from students and ensured teachers to be torch bearing persons to help student in difficult circumstances to address mental health and provide with the needed counselling and treatment.
