PANAJI: In light of the recent tragic incident in Calangute, where a mother took the life of her 4-year-old son, the imperative for proactive mental health initiatives has gained even greater significance.
The incident serves as a poignant reminder of the unseen struggles individuals face under intense psychological stress, often unbeknownst to those around them.
The “Be Kind to Your Mind” campaign is rooted in the recognition of the pervasive challenges related to mental health in today’s society.
The campaign seeks to destigmatize mental health concerns, promote education, and offer support through the expertise of mental health professionals. As part of the initiative, IMA Goa State is organizing self-care skill workshops, placing a strong emphasis on enhancing resilience to navigate stressors in both professional and personal realms.
In a proactive step toward community well-being, the association is actively exploring collaboration with the Education Department. Pending approval, the IMA Goa State plans to conduct psychological counselling sessions for parents of school children.
These sessions aim to equip parents with valuable coping mechanisms, fostering a healthier mental environment within the community.
“We believe that prioritizing mental health is essential for the well-being of individuals and communities at large. ‘Be Kind to your Mind’ is a call to action, urging everyone to invest in their mental well-being,”!!
The association remains resolute in its commitment to addressing mental health issues comprehensively. Through increased awareness, education, and community involvement, IMA Goa State aspires to contribute to a society that values and prioritizes mental health.
