Students often juggle intense academic pressure, long hours, and emotional exhaustion. Despite growing awareness, mental health is still a topic many shy away from.
Why is it still stigmatized? How can we build more supportive environments in educational institutions?
I don’t think so it’s still stigmatised , I feel ppl are more aware regarding this now.
its like universtiy + job + internship = easy way to go mental hospital
By adding a mental health related issues in syllabus. Having councellors in institutions. Having a psychologists visit. Maybe these can make a change.
In my university abroad , there are 5 free sessions with a counselor for any kind of academic or personal problems that students are facing. I feel like this is an amazing way for helping students reach out when they actually need help. If this was started in educational institutions in India , it would be a step in the right direction to be more supportive.
That is so nice to hear !
True , it can make a huge difference .
I think now a days people are more vocal about mental health.
Although we have shed more light on this in recent times, true improvement can only be made through fundamental changes in our system. Until we find better ways to evaluate our youth, the outcome will remain the same, regardless of the support we try to provide.
I agree people still stigmatized mental health just because of other people who start avoiding their colleague/ classmate for having mental issues.They start making jokes and traumatized them without knowing that they are making it worse for their colleague/ classmate.
For such things, institute should provide some awareness program to the fellow one who are facing this type of situation.
It’s true,students go through so much stress, but still many feel scared to talk about mental health. I think the main reason is people worry they will be judged . In schools and colleges, we really need more open conversations, supportive teachers. Mental health should be treated just like physical health.
There’s still a lot of stigma around it, as we consider a person weird or not normal, if we hear that their mental health is not fine. We feel that if we talk to them, then that bad effect will come on us; instead we go with a lot of compassion to a person who is physically suffering from a disease, because we feel that might not impact us much mentally. Mostly, this is the place where the distance gets originated. To build a supportive environment, we need to be more accepting, as what looks like a simple thing for one, can be a challenge for someone else and this variation within us needs to be dealt with much empathy and higher understanding.
we can build more supportive educational environments by expanding and improve mental health .
we can talk about mental health with peoples.
There should be a psychology department in every institution. It will definitely help 
I think people in India are now very much aware about the mental health
Every school and institution should follow a certain procedure to educate and shape a student’s mind & body so that he can grow mentally as well as physically.
