‘MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMME’ FOR THE STUDENTS OF CLASS VIII TO XII

10.10.2023

Mental health refers to the maintenance of successful mental activity, which includes maintaining productive daily activities, fulfilling relationships with others, emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps to determine how we handle stress, related to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is very important at every stage of life, from childhood, adolescence to adulthood.

To provide with better understanding of Mental health, K.B.D.A.V. Senior Secondary Public School, Chandigarh organised an informative session ‘Mental Health Programme’ for the students of class VIII to XII in B.S. Hall on October 10, 2023.

Mr. Manpreet Singh, PGT Psychology, Ms. Khushboo Saini, Counselor cum Special Educator, and Dr. Neetu Kapoor, the health office of the school helped the students in knowing how to deal with mental illness/pressure.

A sample for 50 students approx. of 15 to 16 years of age were collected with the help of BPNS Scale (Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction Scale – in General), i.e. Autonomy, Competence, Relatedness. These basic psychological needs are positively related to work outcomes just like the self-determination theory which was developed by Richard Ryan and Edward Deci.

Students were highly motivated to ask questions and clear their doubts which helped them in boosting their confidence and perform self-analysis. The session proved to be fruitful.
