Students *
More often than not, after that exhilarating feeling of having cleared your
graduate examinations has passed, students are generally at crossroads as to
what next??
Even then, many a time, even after choosing the subject for postgraduate
studies, students do not have a very clear idea of the implications and
applications of what they have chosen to do.
This query may even linger even after a student has completed his/her first
year of PG studies!
IPH is an NGO base in Thane with its thrust on community mental health, and
Aakalan is the learning centre for IPH. Our experience has been that we are
flooded with a number of queries from students who ask for a direction in a
career in mental health.
Through Aakalan, an attempt is being made by IPH to give these students a
holistic view of the mental health scenario in India and define for them the
role of the psychologist in the mental health team.
Aakalan plans to hold a 1 day workshop on *Frontiers in Mental Health*
a course in career guidance for graduates and PG students in Psychology/
Social Work/Human Development.
Various experts in different areas in Mental Health will give inputs and
share their experiences. Sessions will be informative and interactive.
Students will get an opportunity to clear their doubts and voice their
concerns.
