The COVID-19 pandemic has affected societies and economies around the globe and will permanently reshape our world as it continues to unfold. One of the most affected population group includes children and adolescents, who are coping with significant anxiety, stress and disruptions in their daily lives as a result of COVID-19 and pandemic response efforts, including school closures, lack of social gatherings, increased social isolation, and more. So in these difficult times, RKK came up with a lively interaction with Dr Naresh Nebhinani, Child Psychologist from AIIMS Jodhpur to help adolescents in building better resilience for their overall well-being. On the occasion of World Mental Health Day, 10th October, from 11 am to 12 noon with teachers and students of Class 9 and 11, Doctor Naresh Nebhinani, Dr Swati, Dr Esha, Dr Tushar, Dr Joshi covered the topic,
‘Science of Happiness: Supporting Resilience & Tapping Opportunities for our Children & Adolescents’. They discussed about solutions to mitigate the increased risk of developing mental health problems and strategies to look after our mental health, to provide insight into what is ‘normal’ and what to be concerned about.
