Our hearts are full today as ETI Services conducted its first workshop on mental health at Sarvodaya Co-ed School, Begumpur, marking a landmark initiative and starting a journey that was envisioned for years.
Students of classes 8th and 9th engaged with great enthusiasm and openness, actively participating in discussions and activities that focused on understanding emotions, mental well-being, and self-care. Their response highlighted how deeply relevant and overdue such conversations are in school spaces.
Public school systems across India continue to fall behind in addressing student mental health, with limited structured support and persistent stigma around emotional well-being. At a time when stress and emotional distress among adolescents are on the rise, workshops like these are no longer optional, but they are the need of the hour.
This workshop was a small but significant step towards creating safer, more supportive, and emotionally aware learning environments.
