A Holistic Approach to Mental Health
Recognizing the importance of mental well-being in today’s fast-paced world, this partnership with AFH is a pivotal step toward creating a culture of empathy and support at ISBR. Together, we aim to:
- Normalize Mental Health Conversations: Through expert-led workshops and open discussions, we seek to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health.
- Provide Counseling Support: Professional counseling sessions will offer personalized guidance to those in need, ensuring every individual feels heard and supported.
- Harness the Power of Arts: Performing arts therapy programs will be introduced to help individuals explore their emotions creatively and foster self-expression.
Aligning with Global Goals
This initiative is closely aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3): Good Health and Well-being. By addressing mental health challenges, ISBR reaffirms its dedication to holistic development, ensuring that students not only excel academically but also thrive emotionally.
Building a Resilient Community
The partnership with AFH envisions the creation of a robust ecosystem where mental health is a priority. By equipping students, parents, and educators with effective coping strategies, ISBR aims to nurture a community where emotional well-being thrives, and stigmas are a thing of the past.
