Each of them also shared case studies of students who they have counselled in the recent past.
The Sports Department also shared how they actively promote overall balance of health in a child through sports and also promote inclusiveness by opening avenues for the differently abled students.
Speaking about learning disabilities, Dr. Shetty said, “Learning disability is a question on the prevalent examination system and not the child.”
Dr. Indurani Jakar expressed how parents can benefit from such insightful talks as these are issues relevant to every parent and in every household.
The occasion of World Wellness Day is a reminder to create eco systems where one feels safe to open up about mental health issues, where there is no judgement or stigma of going through an emotional turmoil, where voices are heard and where inclusiveness is not just a false notion but a reality.
AryaGlobal Group of schools, headed by Dr Neelam and Bharat Malik, regularly takes such initiatives to promote the overall wellbeing around it.
