At MVJ International School, we recognize that education extends far beyond textbooks and exams. In line with this vision, our educators recently participated in a CBSE Centre of Professional Development (CPB) Training on the theme “Promoting Mental Health and Wellness among Students.” This insightful session was conducted as part of CBSE's ongoing efforts to equip teachers with strategies to support students’ emotional and psychological well-being.
The training focused on creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment where students feel heard, valued, and understood. With rising awareness around mental health, the session aimed to empower educators to recognize early signs of emotional distress, anxiety, or stress among students, and respond with sensitivity and care.
Understanding the concept of mental health and its importance in school settings
Identifying factors affecting students’ emotional well-being
Encouraging open dialogue and reducing the stigma around mental health
Implementing classroom strategies that promote mindfulness, resilience, and positive behavior
Strengthening teacher-student relationships through empathy and active listening
Our teachers engaged in thought-provoking discussions, case studies, and interactive activities that highlighted practical tools for daily classroom use. The session also emphasized the importance of self-care for teachers, reminding educators that their own mental well-being plays a crucial role in shaping a positive learning environment.
By participating in this training, MVJ International School reaffirms its commitment to holistic education, where the emotional and psychological wellness of students is given equal priority along with academic achievement.
We believe that mentally healthy students grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals - and we are proud to take proactive steps in supporting their journey.
