On Wednesday the 21st September 2016, the Career and Counselling Cell under RUSA organised a workshop on Mental Health at the college Conference Hall. With the alarming rise of depression and suicides among young people in the state in recent years, it was felt necessary to have experienced hands in the field address the young students on the issue. 

 

Mrs. Rosie Vanlalruati Ralte, Head of the Sociology dept. chaired the workshop which was attended by the 5th semester students of the English, Mizo and Economics departments. 

 

Rev. Jonathan Pachuau, Counsellor, Family Guidance and Counselling Centre, and Ms. Biakhluzuali Chenkual, Clinical Psychologist, were the Resource Persons for the Workshop. They both spoke on the importance of health - body and mind, and of coping with the stresses of life for fruitful and productive contribution to the community.

 

Dr. Lalthansangi Fanai gave a vote of thanks.
