Mindful Insights: A Transformative Workshop:

A Workshop focusing on Mindful Insights, exploring mental and emotional well-being was held for the new BBA and B. Com students at the Alliance University on 31st August 2023, led by Ms. Sakshi Jauhari, (Counselling Psychologist, Alliance University). This transformative workshop was designed to illuminate the profound importance of mental and emotional well-being within the academic environment. Ms. Jauhari navigated the intricacies of the human psyche, emphasizing the significance of recognizing the root causes of psychological struggles early on. The workshop commenced with a comprehensive overview of common mental health concerns that students may encounter during their academic journey.

Recognizing the root cause of Psychological Struggles:

One of the standout aspects of this workshop was the open dialogue it fostered. Students were encouraged to share their personal experiences with daily stress factors, creating a safe space for them to express their emotions and concerns. This open and candid discussion undoubtedly contributed to the workshop's effectiveness in breaking down the stigma often associated with mental health challenges.

Assessing Stress levels: A Practical exercise:

To further aid the students' understanding of their own stress levels, a stress scale was introduced and discussed during the workshop. Participants had the opportunity to assess their stress scores and gain valuable insights into their mental and emotional states. This practical exercise helped students develop a greater awareness of their emotional well-being.

Building a Toolkit for Effective Coping Mechanisms:

In addition to self-assessment, the workshop also provided students with a toolkit of coping mechanisms. These strategies, expertly presented by Ms. Jauhari, equipped the students with the skills needed to manage their emotions effectively. By the end of the workshop, participants were empowered with the knowledge and resources to better understand and navigate their own emotional landscapes.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the workshop not only educated students on the vital subject of mental and emotional well-being but also created an environment of mutual support and understanding. The impact of this workshop is likely to extend far beyond the event itself, contributing to the holistic development and well-being of the participating students throughout their academic journey and beyond.
