Mental Health and well-being are considered to be of utmost importance here at SOCH. Alongside catering to other aspects of community health, we at SOCH place a significant focus on Mental Health and its awareness. With regards to this, we conducted a live webinar in June 2020 under the name ‘Mental Health During Covid-19 Pandemic’ with healthcare professionals as our speakers. This webinar dealt with the mental health challenges that were faced by a great number of people specifically during the pandemic. From managing stress to dealing with anxiety and depression, the webinar consisted of an in-depth discussion on how to recognize and cope with these challenges.

In the pre-pandemic times, we also collaborated with the Heal Aid foundation to hold a mental health awareness session at Dow Medical College where a number of learned speakers addressed the audience.Â
