Additionally, the TOT team on Stress Management conducted an engaging session that encouraged interaction and reflection.

The day featured interactive discussions, awareness-building activities, and meaningful gift sharing with the students-making the program not just educational, but also memorable and impactful.

Together, let’s continue to break the stigma around mental health and work towards building a healthier, happier community!
