On July 24th, 2023, the Ashhwika Foundation, a leading mental health awareness NGO, conducted an impactful workshop at a Boys School in Vasant Kunj. The workshop focused on two crucial topics: Stress Management and Mental Wellness, catering to students in the 11th and 12th grades. The session was led by licensed and certified psychologist Leher, offering valuable insights, strategies, and support to help students navigate stress and prioritize their mental well-being effectively.
The workshop commenced with an introduction to the importance of stress management and mental wellness in maintaining overall health and academic success. Students were encouraged to reflect on their experiences with stress, identify triggers, and explore healthy coping mechanisms.
Licensed psychologist Leher delved into practical strategies for stress management, including relaxation techniques, time management skills, and effective communication strategies. Through interactive discussions, case studies, and experiential exercises, students gained valuable insights into recognizing signs of stress, building resilience, and seeking support when needed.
The session also emphasized the importance of self-care practices, such as regular physical activity, healthy eating habits, and adequate sleep, in promoting mental wellness and overall well-being. Leher’s expertise and empathetic approach resonated with the students, fostering a supportive and engaging environment for learning and personal growth.
The workshop provided students with actionable tools and resources to enhance their mental resilience, manage academic pressures, and develop healthy coping strategies for life’s challenges. The foundation’s holistic approach to mental wellness emphasized the integration of mind, body, and spirit in promoting overall health and happiness.
As part of its commitment to supporting students’ mental health, the Ashhwika Foundation provided educational materials, handouts, and self-help resources for students to reference and utilize beyond the workshop. These resources served as valuable reminders and guides for implementing ongoing self-care and stress management practices.
The feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive, with students expressing gratitude for the opportunity to learn practical skills for managing stress and prioritizing their mental well-being. Many students shared how the workshop had empowered them to take proactive steps towards a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.
