Wellness Centre IIT Roorkee

We are thrilled to share the success of our recent program on Adolescent Mental Health and Sexuality! 🤝🎉

With around 100 participants, including students and parents, we addressed crucial issues and fostered open conversations on these important topics. Esteemed speakers were Prof. Pooja Mahour, Department of Psychiatry, KGMU Lucknow and Dr Variza, Gynaecologist, Roorkee. They shared valuable insights, research findings, and practical strategies to promote mental well-being and healthy sexuality among adolescents. 🗣️💡

Participants had the opportunity to ask questions and seek guidance, creating an enriching and interactive experience for all. The program received positive feedback, with attendees appreciating its relevance, depth of information, and inclusive nature. Together, we dispelled myths, reduced stigma, and created a more accepting environment. 🌈

By providing accurate information, fostering open dialogue, and supporting one another, we have empowered adolescents and enhanced their mental health and sexual well-being. 🙌

A big thank you to Prof. Pooja Mahour, Dr. Variza, and all participants for making this program a resounding success! Together, let's continue promoting overall well-being within our IITR community. 💪❤️
