We extend our heartfelt thanks to the faculty and students of AIIMS Kalyani for their enthusiasm and engagement. Together, let’s continue striving for a world where mental health care is accessible, inclusive, and stigma-free.
We are delighted to share glimpses from an enriching and insightful exposure visit of students from Apeejay School, Kolkata, G. D. Goenka Public School, Dakshineswar, BDM International School, Kolkata, M. C. Kejriwal Vidyapeeth, Howrah, and Ashok Hall Girls’ Higher Secondary School, Kolkata who participated in this meaningful initiative.
During the visit, students had the unique opportunity to:
1) Gain awareness about mental health challenges and the importance of holistic well-being.
2) Interact with experienced mental health professionals.
3) Learn about Antara’s compassionate approach to psychiatric care and rehabilitation.
4) Reflect on the significance of empathy, understanding, and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health.
This exposure visit was not just an academic activity but also a life lesson in compassion and awareness. Antara’s mission to promote mental wellness and support individuals on their journey toward recovery left a lasting impact on the students and educators alike.
Let’s continue to work together in fostering an environment that values mental health and encourages open conversations around it.
