Young minds are the driving force of tomorrow and nurturing their well-being is key to building a stronger, healthier future. Creating safe spaces for open dialogue helps empower youth to face challenges with confidence and resilience. On International Youth Day, Cairn organised a Mental Health Awareness Session at Sarupathar College, Assam, bringing together over 500 young participants. The program focused on creating open conversations around emotional well-being, resilience and stress management, topics that are becoming increasingly relevant in today’s fast-paced academic and social environment.
The session was led by renowned clinical psychology expert Dr. Shubhangi Bhagawati, who guided the students through important aspects of mental health. She emphasised the value of early recognition of challenges, effective techniques to manage academic pressure and the role of self-awareness in making better life decisions. Through guided exercises, students learned practical ways to improve focus, calm their minds and handle stress more effectively.
By integrating mental wellness into the larger dialogue of youth empowerment, this initiative highlights the importance of nurturing not just academic growth but also emotional strength. For the youth of Assam, programs like these pave the way for a healthier, more confident and resilient generation ready to meet the challenges of the future.
