About Workshop
In view of the increasing mental health challenges faced by students, Academy for faculty and staff development propose to conduct a Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on the theme "Student Mental Health: Faculty Role and Approach." during 19th September to 24th September 2025. The importance of this FDP lies in the present academic scenario where students are experiencing heightened stress due to academic pressures, career uncertainty, and post-pandemic lifestyle changes. Faculty members, being the first point of contact for students, play a crucial role in recognizing early signs of distress, reducing stigma, and providing timely guidance. By equipping faculty with awareness and practical approaches, this programme will help create a supportive learning environment that enhances both student well-being and academic performance. For this program we identified one external resource person and 5 internal resource persons. The external resource person is Dr. Neeraja Padigapati, Psychologist, IIT, Thirupathi and internal resource persons are Dr. B. Vijaya Bhaskar, Dr. B. Siva Shankar Mandal, Dr. D. Rajya Lakshmi, Dr. M. Salomi and Mrs. Shabana Azmi Shaik. We have scheduled the program to be conducted during 4.00pm to 6.00pm on 4 days in view of not disturbing the regular class work
