The Special Education and Counselling Team of Presidency School RTNagar, in its endeavour to create happy students and happy homes , used the platform  of the World Mental Health Day 2022  to take the  message forth. Make Mental Health and Well being for all a global priority is the Theme for the School  Well Being programme.

On this day, Awareness Badges were pinned onto Parents’ and  Teachers. A special Assembly was held  to commemorate the day and sensitise students about this much neglected aspect of well- being.

We at school, put in all the ability to reconnect  and use this  opportunity to re-kindle our efforts to protect and improve mental health. We as a school have pledged to  deepen the value and commitment we give to mental health as individuals, communities and match that value with more commitment, engagement and investment by all stakeholders. The Stigma and discrimination which continue to be a barrier to social inclusion and access to the right care will surely be broken with time.

All of us at School are fostering and envisioning  a world in which mental health is valued, promoted and protected; where everyone has an equal opportunity to enjoy mental health and to exercise their human rights; and where everyone can access the mental health care they need. Hence, We Are There For You initiative was kick started by  our Counselling Team comprising Ms Pavithra and Ms Ranjanna . They are available to help our Parents and students as and when the requests are made. It has been a great relief to see smiles back on distressed faces , just because they were heard!

After all, Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light!
