Sitanagar, October 13, 2025 — Government Model Senior Secondary School (GMSSS), Sitanagar, hosted a comprehensive Mental Health Awareness Programme aimed at educating students and staff about the importance of psychological well-being and emotional resilience.
Organized in collaboration with local health authorities and mental health professionals, the event featured interactive sessions, expert talks, and group activities designed to destigmatize mental health issues and promote early intervention.

Students were encouraged to speak openly about their experiences and were provided with resources for seeking help when needed. A special session on mindfulness and emotional regulation was conducted, offering practical techniques for maintaining mental balance in academic and personal life.
Teachers also participated in a workshop focused on identifying early signs of distress among students and creating a supportive classroom environment. Pamphlets and educational materials were distributed to reinforce key messages from the programme.
The initiative received positive feedback from attendees, with many expressing appreciation for the school’s proactive approach to mental health. GMSSS Sitanagar plans to continue such programmes regularly, reinforcing its commitment to holistic student development and well-being.
