Fostering Well-being: Why Prioritising Student Mental Health is Crucial Today?
In today's fast-paced world, students, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds, face significant challenges in maintaining their emotional and mental well-being. The pressures of academic expectations, social challenges, and growing mental health concerns are compounded by the long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to issues such as attention disorders, difficulty adjusting to in-person schooling, digital addiction, and an alarming rise in substance abuse among school children.

Key Challenges
Physical Wellbeing
Structured body movements and postures designed to enhance flexibility, strength, and overall physical wellness.
Mental Wellbeing
Students learn breathing techniques and relaxation exercises to reduce stress, improve concentration, and cultivate a calm mind.
Social-Emotional Wellbeing
Through interactive exercises, children work together to develop essential life skills, such as emotional regulation and decision-making, fostering resilience and overall well-being.
Rhythmic Breathing
This technique strengthens immunity, builds emotional resilience, and improves cognitive functions. It also helps students overcome temptations and peer pressure, promoting healthier lifestyles.
Our innovative, science-based program is designed to help students transition smoothly back to school by providing tools to manage stress, enhance focus, and build emotional resilience. Through engaging, activity-based modules, we promote learning via shared experiences, collective problem-solving, and collaboration. Additionally, our program includes techniques to prevent substance abuse and overcome temptations, offering holistic support for every child's mental and emotional health.
Our Approach
Principal, CHSS Puliyur
As our school is located to close to the main road children here have easy access to drugs being sold in nearby teashops and snack parlors. In spite of our constant efforts in informing local authorities, and taking action against students who take to drugs, we have not been very successful in managing the situation. In my opinion, a lasting solution for this problem can be reached only by educating the students about harmful effects of these drugs and eliminate inner tendencies. I thank Art of Living and their faculty for their noble and sincere efforts in reaching out to our students and making an impact

My mind is relaxed and I feel healthy now. My ability to absorb and retain what I read has increased after this program. This program was very useful to me and has helped improve my creativity, memory power, and physical health

I am very short tempered and would get angry very easily. This program has helped reduce that tendency in me and I find myself more calmer now.
Revathi, Student, Class X
CHSS (Girls) Thiruvanmiur
I was unable to pay attention to the classes and my mind would get distracted easily. But after attending the Art of Living workshop, within 4 days I am able to concentrate and focus better.

Through these programs, the Art of Living is rendering a great service to the student community, especially to those who come from the economically weaker sections of the society. In these workshops, students learn tools & techniques to handle emotions, negative tendencies, and also good values, life skills and behavioral skills through fun-filled activities.
