Relationship, after studies, is believed to be the prime reason for stress-building in students.
These workshops were intended to provide relief from stress to the ITI trainees by providing them with a clear set of information surrounding relationships. As it has been observed that many adolescents are ill-informed regarding the psychology behind relationships and how their world is based on myths and half-baked facts. From almost very poor knowledge to no knowledge, these youth find it extremely difficult in navigating the complexities of relationships. As a consequence they suffer immensely.
These workshops proved to be very enlightening and helpful to the participants as can be found from the level of their participation and their feedback. Almost all of them expressed strong likeliness for the workshops and said that the learning is definitely going to better their lives.
Sleepwell Foundation conducted a workshop to Prevent Drug & Substance Abuse for the trainees of Jijabai ITI For Women, New Delhi on 28th March, 2023. 120 trainees participated in the workshop held in 2 sessions. Sleepwell Foundation had deployed the service of qualified and experienced counsellors to conduct the workshop.
Substance abuse in educational institutions is a big concern as many students are susceptible to its habitual usage. Through learned intervention by teaching the trainees about the cause, symptoms and the consequence of this behavioral menace, the trainees can be made aware and probably saved from the danger.
The workshop was informative, methodical, appropriate and tailor-made for the needs of the trainees. The trainees took the workshop in all seriousness as many of them have already seen addiction from close quarters, in family, friends and acquaintances. They asked many questions to the workshop-conductor, clarifying their doubts and reservations regarding substance abuse. As the workshop progressed, many trainees came forward, toying aside shyness and fear, two main reasons preventing the victims from coming in open and seeking help.
The workshop was a very fruitful exercise for all as the trainees immensely benefited from the knowledge in keeping safe distance from a habit that can eventually ruin their lives.
Sleepwell Foundation conducted a series of Workshops on Perception and Communication for the trainees of Jijabai ITI For Women, New Delhi on 21st Apr, 28th Apr and 12th May, 2023. 360 trainees participated in the workshop held in 2 sessions on each of these dates.
