Importance of Mental Health
Date: 2025-03-05

A seminar was conducted for the students of Class VII on March 5, 2025, by the M Power Birla Group. The session was led by Mrs. Suma Lahore, a clinical psychologist, on the topic "Bonds and Boundaries and Building a Positive Image." The program was organized under the guidance of the respected Principal Ma’am and Supervisor Mrs. Kala Nair. Mrs. Suma began by engaging students in a discussion about the meaning of psychology and then explained its significance. She emphasized the importance of mental health, stating that it should be given the same attention as physical health. To make the session interactive, she conducted an activity called "Safe Circle," where students reflected on their personal boundaries. She explained the different types of boundaries—physical, emotional, and digital—and guided students on how to set healthy limits in their lives.
Mrs. Suma also educated students on the harmful effects of body shaming and bullying, which can negatively impact self-confidence. She encouraged them to practice Accept, Appreciate, and Respect to build a positive and supportive environment. To help students establish boundaries, she provided simple yet effective steps such as using clear statements, seeking help when needed, and learning to say “No". The seminar concluded with an engaging question-and-answer session, where students actively participated and shared their thoughts. The event ended on a positive note with a vote of thanks, leaving students with valuable lessons on self-respect and mental well-being.
