Mental Health Awareness Webinar

Salwan Public School, Mayur Vihar, in collaboration with Project CACA (Children Against Child Abuse), organised a webinar on Mental Health Awareness on Saturday, 04 October 2025, at 5:00 p.m. The session, attended by parents, aimed to sensitise them towards understanding and supporting their children’s mental well-being.

Ms. Anusha Tyagi from Fortis Hospital conducted the session and highlighted the importance of recognising early signs of mental health issues such as social withdrawal, irritability, mood swings, low confidence, fatigue, and disturbed sleep patterns. She advised parents to maintain a positive approach, encourage open communication, and ensure responsible media usage by children. Emphasis was also laid on digital detox, self-care, and seeking timely professional help.

The webinar concluded with an interactive Q&A session, which offered valuable insights on fostering a supportive and empathetic home environment. A vote of thanks was extended at the end of the session. Parents expressed their appreciation for the initiative and found the discussion extremely beneficial.

For continued support, participants were informed about the 24-hour free helpline at 8376804102.
