कोरी पाटी, मनात धडकी
वेळेवरती पोहचण्याची..
लगबग नुसती आई मागे
उत्सुकता शिक्षकांना भेटण्याची..
एक वही नवीन दप्तरात
जुन्या धाग्यांनी बांधलेली..
ओढ भारी मनात रुजलेली
पुस्तकं नवीन वाचण्याची..
गंध घेता नवीन पुस्तकांचा
मन भिरभिरतच स्वप्नांत हरवे..
चालू होई दिनक्रम वर्षभराचा
मनी बाळगुणी स्वप्न नवे..

IPH Sessions : A True Pathway

In today's techno savvy and fast paced world, 'Mental Health' is very sensitive and the most important topic. The students and teachers are the strong pillars of any school or society. Knowing the significance of this, Our school has put forth "Institute for Psychological Health Programme" throughout the academic year 2024-25. Our respected Principal Smt. Priyadarshini Purohit ma'am has a vision for this and provides a platform of 'Mental Health Sessions' for students and teachers uptill now.

As per the decided schedule, the very first session was arranged on June 24, 2024. They were continued on July 31 and August 8, 2024. These sessions were conducted for students of classes 5th to 8th. Every student has a different personality and has his/her own way to handle happy or sad situations. The name "मनाचा तास" itself gives an idea for its purpose. The objective is to converse with students in a very playful and healthy manner. The sessions by respected Amita Behare ma'am and her team focused on common mental illnesses which are anxiety, mood swings and behavioral disorders.

Now-a-days the utmost important topic of "Good touch/Bad touch" also has been discussed along with solutions through the programmes. The team interacts with the students in a very communicative and friendly way. Students are becoming more productive and motivated through these sessions.

As a visionary goal, our Principal ma'am has arranged these sessions for teachers too. The first session was arranged on June 7, 2024 at 'Amrut Mahotsav Hall'. The team members of Dr. Anand Nankarni had guided teachers through drama, poems and healthy-happy conversations. This programme named "सूर जुळे नात्यांचा" was about positive approach towards life and it's consequences. It was a short but sweet skit and a memorable event for the entire teachers in the school. Each month, a session is being conducted to recharge and refresh teachers from their routine. These sessions were arranged on July 3 2024 and August 31 2024 and were very inspiring. 'A happy talk with our mind' was the basic concept behind this.

"Understanding Mental Health" sessions by respected Anjali Chaudhary and Ashwini Marathe proved to be very relatable and helpful to all teachers. As a responsible profession in Society, teachers must take care of his/her own mindset and happiness. Teachers should be a happy hormone for their loving students and community. They should grow up with their own interests, strong abilities and work balance in life. One should maintain a good equilibrium in physical and mental health also.

No doubt! These sessions will be our true companions throughout this year.
