JKCPJ interacted with students at Government Girls Higher Secondary School,
Batmallo Srinagar on mental health. JKCPJ team and mental health experts spread
awareness about mental health. They encouraged children to share their daily stresses
with their friends and family and advised them not to feel ashamed of having mental
health issues. They talked about the importance of recognizing the early signs of mental
disorders and how they can chart the course of one’s life. Teenagers must develop a
social support system that protects them from the risk factors of developing a mental
illness. Mental health can be managed with exercise, proper diet and nutrition, and a
healthy lifestyle, they added
The principal and staff of Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Batmallo
Srinagar, shared beneficial input with the JKCPJ team. They said children’s mental
health in today’s time suffers the most due to their personal as well as societal problems
and as a result, their education is affected the most. The school administration also
encouraged the JKCPJ team to spread mental health awareness on a wider scale as it is
the need of the hour.

awareness about mental health. She requested the team to have some more interactions
