 Workshop on ‘Frontiers in Mental Health’

Dear Fresh Psychology graduates / PG Students

More often than not, after that exhilarating feeling of having cleared your graduate
examinations has passed, students are generally at crossroads as to “what next??

Even then, many a time, even after choosing the subject for postgraduate studies, students
do not have a very clear idea of the implications and applications of what they have chosen
to do.

This query may even linger even after a student has completed his/her first year of PG
studies!

IPH is an NGO base in Thane with its thrust on community mental health, and Aakalan is
the learning centre for IPH. Our experience has been that we are flooded with a number of
queries from students who ask for a direction in a career in mental health.

Through Aakalan, an attempt is being made by IPH to give these students a holistic view of
the mental health scenario in India and define for them the role of the psychologist/social
worker in the mental health team.

Aakalan plans to hold a 1 day workshop on ‘Frontiers in Mental Health’ – a course for
fresh psychology graduates and PG students.

Various experts in different areas in Psychology/Social work/Human Development will give

inputs and share their experiences. Sessions will be informative and interactive. Students
will get an opportunity to clear their doubts and voice their concerns.

Eligibility: Graduate & PG students in Psychology/Social Work/ Human

Development
Course Fees: Rs.500/-
Duration: 1 day
Time: 9.30 am To 5.30 pm
Date: Saturday, June 26, 2010
Number of participants: Maximum 40
Participation in the workshop has to be confirmed on phone and email
roopaiph@gmail.com

Registration can be done through cash or D.D. payable to Institute for

Psychological Health.

There will be no spot registration.

Last date for registration: June 18, 2010
