DESHA - De-stigmatised, Evolved, Sustained, Holistic approach to Aarokyam (Health)
DHWANI - Resonation across the country
As far as possible, DESHA DHWANI tries to address populations well in advance to prevent any jeopardy to their mental health at all - for instance, by addressing parents of small children, or college students. Wherever adults are already facing situations that might affect their wellness, as well, DESHA DHWANI tries to intervene and create awareness on why it is not necessary to succumb to pressurising/stressful situations across the duration of a person's life.
Our current offerings are listed below, and we plan to expand this list further, since DESHA DHWANI aims to address various target groups by age - so do keep watching this space! DESHA DHWANI's uniqueness lies in its willingness to customise design, language, content, and style of the workshops/sessions in order to suit the target population it will reach out to. If you have any specific requirements that are not in the categories below, do feel free to reach out to us (through the details provided on the "Contact" page). You can visit our homepage to gain an idea of the events we've completed till date.
Grihastha - A Workshop for Parents, Caregivers, Schools
​
"Grihastha" is a session for parents and caregivers (including people expecting babies). Rather than advocating the concept of "parenting", "Grihastha" just seeks to provide tips on how to be well and live well, so that children simply learn from their primary caregivers by observing them - which they are doing, always. The session will touch upon very simple aspects that we need to interlace into our everyday lifestyles, so that we nurture children who become well, resilient, and responsible individuals in the future.
Workplace Worries Workshop ​
​
The chief outcome of this workshop would be to point out that wellness is within everyone’s reach – in fact, right before their eyes – if only they make the effort to reach out to it. The workshop will employ examples of “stressful” situations in the workplace, audio-visuals, and very interactive and engaging media to communicate the above message. Contrary to adopting a “data-driven” approach (making “mental health” a mysterious topic to be wary of), DESHA DHWANI will drill down to the basics of everyday work (and personal!) life to help people become the masters of their own minds.
What Next? - Career Counselling Session for Class 10, 11 and 12 students ​
​
"What Next?" is a career counselling session for Class 10, 11, and 12 students. What makes this session stand apart from other, usual career counselling sessions is its uniqueness in addressing which aspects a student must consider before making a career choice. Students will understand that interest / passion alone are not defining factors in selecting a career; and in reality, several other factors come into play. The session will also cover prospective paths of study in the future, helping Class 10 students make a decision on which group to take, with a clear vision in their minds.
Approaching Placement Season - The Stages of Preparation
​
Everyone approaches placements with mixed feelings, but clarity of thought is essential before sitting for interviews. Succeeding in these interviews and making it into top organisations may be desirable, but having a longer-term plan in mind is essential before deciding to participate and react to these processes. Apart from this, the actual interview process is also crucial - including how we talk, behave, and perform in them. Possibly even more important is sustaining in an organisation after joining it. This session, therefore, seeks to enable students to approach placement with a clear head, and a long-term goal in mind, so that they can handle interviews / discussions with confidence and clarity.
