On 26th February, a community awareness programme on Child Psychological Well-being in Contemporary Times was successfully conducted at Kazipara Primary School near Baruipur, South 24 Parganas.

The programme was organised by the Antara Community Mental Health Unit in collaboration with the MSc & BSc Nursing students of Sister Nivedita University.

Around 40–50 parents attended the session. Through engaging skits and informative chart presentations, the students highlighted ways to identify early signs of psychological issues in children and manage them effectively at school and within family settings. Teachers also actively participated, reinforcing the importance of early intervention and emotional support for children’s holistic development.

We sincerely thank all parents, teachers, and students for their enthusiastic participation and commitment towards nurturing children’s mental well-being.

Antara conducted a awareness workshop on Common Childhood Disorders & ADHD on 30th January 2026 at Techno India Group Public School, Chinsurah, Hooghly, for teachers of TIGPS Hooghly, Nabadwip, and Krishnanagar.

The session was led by Ms. Molly Thambi, Joint Secretary, Antara, with Ms. Ankhi Sarkar, Program Cordinator, Community Mental Health Unit,(CMHU),Antara and Ms. Anita Brooks, Manager, Communications as resource persons. The workshop aimed to demystify ADHD beyond common stereotypes, highlight its comorbidities such as anxiety and depression, and equip teachers with evidence-based strategies for daily classroom and behavioural management.

Key discussions included understanding ADHD, its types, signs and symptoms, and the neurobiological basis of the condition enabling educators to better identify, support, and respond to children’s mental health needs.

✨ A meaningful step toward strengthening child mental health awareness in schools.
