• ● Policy Mental Health Interventions for Higher Educational Institutions

Mental Health has a vital impact on quality of life. Overall there has been a rise in mental health challenges in the youth population. However there is no specific public or private health system in place to cater to the needs of this age group in India. A large segment of the youth population are enrolled in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across the country. HEIs can play an important role in supporting young adult mental health. Authors Dr Girija Mahale, Tahera K. Lokhandwala and Dr Nidhi Purohit have co authored a policy with recommendations for mental health interventions that can be replicated across India drawing insights from experiences with SCEW.
