Mental Health Awareness Quiz for School Students by Doctors
New Delhi:
Doctors at a leading healthcare group have chosen a novel way to raise awareness about mental health among students — a quiz competition, the winners of which were announced on Thursday. ‘Psych-ED’ saw the participation of 900 schools across 215 cities in India, with the grand finale held in Gurgaon.
The teams went through multiple rounds of nerve-wracking quizzing and Navy Children’s School, Mumbai emerged as the winners of ‘Psych-ED 2022’. They were closely followed by Christ Junior College, Bangalore who emerged first runner-up and Mayor School, Ajmer finished as second runner-up, Fortis Memorial Research Institute (FMRI) said in a statement.
The quiz has a unique format that was designed to engage students and encourage them to gain greater awareness of psychology and its related concepts.
“We are engaging with the youth and creating this unique way of creating an understanding of psychology and mental health. Mental health is an under-discussed topic and the educational fraternity should come together to sensitize the youth,” said Dr Sameer Parikh, Director, FMRI.
The quiz was organized by the Department of Mental Health and Behavioral Sciences, Fortis Healthcare and the grand finale was held at FMRI.
