A workshop on “Introduction to Mental Health” for the middle school Shaktis was conducted by Pheiroijam Anju, our Project Specialist. The kids were introduced to the importance of mental health and how it is important to know the different types of mental disorders in life to help people as well as themselves.
The workshop started with the gratitude song by the kids and some breathing exercises. The Shaktis were also taught to identify mental health related problems. Some of the awareness videos meant for the kids were shown to the Shaktis to help better understand the concept. They include stories about how to help their friends when they are in need after going through a traumatic incident in life. Including technology based kinds of teaching makes the kids more interesting and fun.
