TAR College Promotes Mental Well-Being
The Counselling Unit, Student Affairs Department organized a three-day mental health awareness campaign from 15 to 17 October 2008 to create awareness on mental health issues among its students.

The campaign which carried the theme “Wellness begins with U” featured a series of programmes which included movies, talks, workshops, yoga and meditation exercises, wishing trees, origami, games and mini exhibition for students to participate and learn about mental health.

The students found the activities of the event to be interesting and informative. Some students even realized that they or their friends might need help after checking out some of the information displayed at the mini exhibition.  

It is hoped that through this mental health awareness campaign, we would understand that mental well-being starts from our own self.
