In order to inculcate a positive lifestyle with equal focus on mental as well as physical wellbeing of our police force, a session was conducted via video conferencing and was attended by officers and staff of all south Goa police stations.
Notable Clinical Psychologist Ms Prachi Khadeparkar and Adv. Emidio Pinho addressed police staff from all police stations and shared their valuable tips to maintain physical and mental wellbeing.
By way of conducting such programs, we wish to provide our staff with the opportunity to develop healthy coping skills and provide them with more tools to deal with the physical and psychological demands of their profession.
More such events will be conducted in the future for police staff to benefit from, said South Goa SP.
