FDP on Women & Adolescent Mental Health

The Academic Enrichment Cell of ICG in collaboration with the National Service Scheme organized a Faculty Development Programme on Women & Adolescent Mental Health on the 13^th of October, 2007. The Resource Persons were Dr. Pradeep Sharma, Professor of Psychiatry, SMS Medical College, Jaipur and Ms. Pradnya Deshpande, a consulting Clinical Psychologist. They addressed the issues related to Women & Adolescent Mental Health through lecture and power point presentation. The programme was aimed at generating awareness about Adolescent Mental Health issues and their early symptomatic identification among the young adults at the right time so that they do not develop into mentally ill adults, who if untreated may have difficulties in their personal lives and in their interaction with others. They also talked about VAW (violence against women) and the ways it can be overcome. 

The audience found the activity interesting and enriching.
