Mental Health: Causes and Prevention

The NSS Club of Poddar International College, in association with UNICEF , organized a quiz on “Mental Health: Causes and Prevention” under the seven-day program “MAN DARPAN”: MENTAL WELL BEING OF ADOLESCENT. On the third day of the program, the quiz was conducted with the aim of spreading awareness among students about the significance of mental health, its causes, preventive strategies, and the importance of developing positive well-being in today’s fast-paced and competitive environment.

The session began with motivational words by Dr. Shilpika Tewari , who inspired the students to strengthen their mental resilience, adopt effective stress management techniques, and maintain emotional balance in their daily lives. Following this, Dr. Vinod Kumar Jain explained in depth the causes of mental health issues, preventive measures to be taken, and the vital role of self-care, family support, and peer encouragement in sustaining good mental health.

The quiz provided students with an interactive platform to test their knowledge, enhance awareness, and engage with real-life aspects of mental health . It not only enriched their understanding but also encouraged them to adopt healthy practices and become more supportive towards their peers.

Both students and faculty members actively participated with great enthusiasm, making the event highly impactful. The program truly reflected the vision of “Man Darpan” —to nurture an environment of awareness, care, and positivity where young minds can grow and flourish.
