Is it possible for families and students to have better mental health through open communication?
In today’s fast-paced environment, the importance of prioritising mental well-being alongside academic achievement for students cannot be overstated. The unyielding pressure of academic demands, coupled with the looming fear of failure and the incessant comparisons to fellow students, is increasingly impacting the mental well-being of today’s youth.
A recent national mental health survey conducted in India has unveiled a striking statistic: approximately 14 percent of the nation’s population requires active mental health interventions. This finding highlights the pressing need for increased awareness and resources dedicated to mental health care across the country.
The NEP’s reach may be uneven, yet it is steadily making strides in tackling mental health concerns at the grassroots level. However, challenges such as academic pressure, insufficient support, and the persistent stigma surrounding mental health continue to exacerbate the troubling trend of issues faced by young students.

There is a growing consensus among experts about the importance of integrating mental health education into both schools and homes.
