World Mental Health Day is observed on 10th October every year, with the objectives of raising awareness of mental health issues and mobilizing efforts in support of better mental health. Keeping the same in mind, DAV Public School, Sec 49, Gurugram observed 9th and 10th October 2020 as Mental Health Day with the theme - ‘Expressing Emotions’.
The day of 9th October began with a special assembly For students of Class II to Class XII during which students were addressed on mental health issues, the stigma associated with it and what students can do to promote mental health.The school held numerous activities through the day to ingrain a better awareness of mental health. The activities ranged from Drawing Greeting card, Art and Craft, Song, Dance, Memory lane- Making a collage of Photographs , Music (Vocal/ Instrumental) ,Self Performed Dance/ Song ,Story formation, Incident Sharing, Poster Making , Picture Depiction and many others. Thereafter, a Yoga session was organised followed by a session of ‘Brain Gym’ with the students.
On 10th October , a webinar was conducted on “Teenage Reflection” which was presided over by Mr Amitabh Mohan, an eminent Psychologist, Founder and Managing Director of HLS, India. In the webinar, he talked in length about Adolescence and challenges faced by adolescents. He also apprised about psychological and pharmacological treatment of anxiety disorders, depression and related disorders for adults as well as children. The students in the Zoom room asked many questions on the issues which were disturbing them during their very long stay... when they are caged in the four walls of their homes in the past few months. Mr. Amitabh brought every student to a platform of peace. The session indeed gave everyone a better understanding about our responsibility of taking care of our mental well-being. There were also plethora of activities conducted for the junior school such as Brain Gym, Quizzes , Live Worksheets, activities through Google Form and Moving Showing-Malgudi Days, I am Kalam and Gattu in order to evoke pleasant nostalgia among students.
The two days filled with awareness-building exercises and sessions, thus, reinforced the message that mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. Neither is talking about it. It’s ‘Time to Talk, it’s Time to Change’.
