  1. MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT IN SCHOOLS TIPS through which we can help the youngsters to combat mental health issues WWW.EDUMINATTI.COM

  2. Mental health is considered taboo in Indian culture. When anyone is suffering from a mental disorder, we usually don’t get positive and supportive feedback from our surroundings. Further, when there is no pillar behind the victims, their condition grows and becomes worse with time. There are cases where we have witnessed suicides and deaths. This mental health disorder is common among teenagers and young adults. As one grows, he/she is burdened by ample responsibilities whether he/she is ready to bear them or not. It’s a stereotype. Change is required. Essentially, if these things are taken care of from the very beginning, that is, when a child is not even a teenager, things will be sorted and clear ahead. In every aspect of life, we learn new things eventually, but no one teaches us about how to tackle pressure, burden, responsibilities, and unwanted stress. CBSE Schools in Dehradun believe that schools play a major role in a child’s overall learning of day-to-day lifestyle. If mental health is also collated in the lists of learning and understanding, it won’t be a matter of situational awkwardness anymore. WWW.EDUMINATTI.COM

  3. LET’S LOOK INTO SOME WAYS THROUGH WHICH WE CAN HELP THE YOUNGSTERS TO COMBAT MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES WWW.EDUMINATTI.COM

  4. DEPLOY HEALTH SUPPORT Students should get full mental health support through psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, counselors, social workers, etc. Schools should deploy a team of mental health experts, and students should be made comfortable to speak to them at any point of time they feel like.

  5. INFORM AND EDUCATE: Students grow up with the habits that they are taught in childhood. They follow what they have known from the start. It is very important to teach the right things to the students, especially the taboos of society. Clarify everything, every concept of mental health disorders. Tell them to help their companions in the best way they can. WWW.EDUMINATTI.COM

  6. ENCOURAGE SOCIALNESS Spare some time other than the curriculum for peers to socialize with each other. Ask them to work together on some challenging and problematic situations. Interaction among children of the same age groups escalates the mind’s thought process, keeps them engaged, and decreases the chance of thinking about stress and tensions. WWW.EDUMINATTI.COM

  7. NECESSITATE INVOLVEMENT Ensure that each student is involved in some of the other extracurricular activities. Not every student can excel in the same activities. Therefore, make sure that every talent is valued equally, and no one is criticized for their choices. Preferably, this can trigger a sense of competitiveness among students if rewarded and consolidated for everything they do. WWW.EDUMINATTI.COM

  8. FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT Just reinforcing extra curriculum and effective communication won’t help unless a child gets a suitable environment. A mental health victim’s point of view is not the same as a normal person. Ergo, it is vital that a student feels secure in every corner of the premises and not just in front of the aid team. Teachers should keep an account if any student is under mental stress for any reason and give their best to bring them back at ease. WWW.EDUMINATTI.COM

  9. PROMOTE PHYSICAL HEALTH It needs no evidence that fitness is the key to a healthy lifestyle. This we have practiced and preached for ages. According to Boarding Schools in Dehradun, Students should be trained to inculcate the habit of keeping themselves fit. It can be done through many ways such as sports activities, regular workouts, yoga, gyms, and most prominently, following a healthy diet. Obviously, this sounds a little old-age routine, but keeping up with this will contribute heavily to fighting mental health troubles as well. Students can make a timetable or schedule their diet plans for every week. With this, they can enjoy a variety of fast food once or twice a week. WWW.EDUMINATTI.COM

  10. AWARENESS IN PARENTS At the end of the day, a student is a child. He/she returns home with a bag full of new experiences, good and bad both. On that account, it’s a parent’s duty to ask them about their day. Maybe they don’t want to share or don’t want to talk. Such an understanding must be created that a child himself talks about his issues and happiness either. At home, also an atmosphere is must where a child feels free to talk about anything without the insecurity of criticism and comparison. WWW.EDUMINATTI.COM

  11. SEMINARS AND WEBINARS Schools should organize seminars and webinars on mental health and let everyone, including parents, teachers, and students, attend them. At times listening to such things can influence the minds. WWW.EDUMINATTI.COM
