Mental wellbeing begins with awareness, and awareness begins with accessibility.

Taking a significant step towards promoting mental health among students and faculty members, the Mental Health & Well-Being Department, SVKM, in collaboration with Solh Wellness, successfully installed Stress Detection Kiosks across five constituent institutions of the University:

• Vidush Somany Institute of Technology & Research (VSITR), Kadli

• S.K. Patel Institute of Management and Computer Studies (MBA), Gandhinagar

• K.B. Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Gandhinagar

• Chanchalben Mafatlal Patel College of Nursing, Gandhinagar

• LDRP Institute of Technology and Research, Gandhinagar

Installation was paralleled by two comprehensive and interactive orientation sessions for the same.

The initiative aims to make mental health screening more accessible and encourage individuals to proactively monitor their emotional wellbeing. The kiosks will enable students and faculty members to assess their stress levels, gain valuable insights into their mental health, and access appropriate support whenever required.

This initiative reflects SVKM's continued commitment to fostering a supportive, empathetic, and mentally healthy educational environment where wellbeing remains an integral part of academic success and personal growth.
