“Breaking the Silence: Nurturing Minds, Shaping Futures”

“A healthy mind is the foundation of a bright future. Let us nurture it.”

 

In accordance with CBSE’s initiative to promote mental health and emotional well-being among students, a workshop on Mental Health and Wellness was conducted at DAV Centenary Public School, Mianwali Nagar, Paschim Enclave, on 27 December 2025. The session aimed to sensitize educators towards the importance of mental health in creating a positive and supportive learning environment.

 

The workshop was conducted by eminent resource persons Dr. Archana Narain and Ms. Akshita Bhauguna, who shared their expertise and practical insights on addressing mental health challenges in school settings.

 

The session began with an engaging ice-breaking activity, encouraging participants to reflect on the role of mental health in holistic education. This was followed by an interactive discussion focusing on issues such as stress management, body shaming, bullying, and peer pressure among students. Teachers actively participated in role-play activities highlighting mental health concerns such as eating disorders and schizophrenia, enabling them to understand students’ perspectives and explore practical intervention strategies.

 

The workshop proved to be highly informative and impactful, equipping educators with effective tools and strategies to address mental health concerns sensitively and to foster a safe, inclusive, and emotionally supportive school environment.

 

The workshop marked a significant step towards prioritizing student well-being and strengthening the role of educators in nurturing mentally healthy and emotionally resilient learners.
