Co-authored a paper for Economic and Political Weekly . The paper is based on the primary survey of 997 students from IITs and NLUs, who once attended coaching to prepare for JEE and CLAT, respectively. This paper highlights the huge social cost imposed by coaching firms on students' well being and overall development. It is further focused on the fundamental problems the coaching industry is plagued with and reflects on the guidelines issued by Union Government to regulate coaching firms. #Coaching #CoachingIndustry #IIT #NLU #JEE #CLAT #regulation

With the world becoming ever crazier and on #worldmentalhealthday it's important to keep listening to employees and ensure that, we continue to offer a supportive environment for all of our people. Remember it's good to talk! It's also good practice to offer a wide variety of different support mechanisms to suit the individual such as 121's, an EAP, mental health first aiders, mental health training, manager support and training, apps, coaching and counselling. This is by no means an exhaustive list but by being open, honest and non-judgmental you can achieve quite a bit. #worldmentalhealthday #challengingtimes #mentalhealth #support

Buckinghamshire Mind creates greater impact following successful training offered and delivered to a new unique audience In November Buckinghamshire Mind worked collaboratively with Buckinghamshire Council, delivering two mental health training awareness workshops for hairdressers working across Buckinghamshire.   Hairdressers occupy a unique position in the community, often providing an opportunity for people to disclose information they may not be otherwise comfortable to share in other settings.   There was a clear benefit in providing hairdressers with mental health awareness training. This equipped them with the skills to navigate conversations about mental health, while offering signposting information and most importantly learning how to set boundaries to protect their own mental wellbeing.   Just some of the training success highlights: ☑ 100% said they were very satisfied with the training ☑ 100% or participants answered 8 or above for how confident they feel having a conversation about mental health. ☑ 100% of participants answered 8 or above for how confident they felt about spotting the signs of someone who may be struggling with their mental health   One attendee said: “Very pleased I attended, so valuable on so many different levels. Biggest takeaway is better understanding on setting boundaries.”   Buckinghamshire Mind will continue to strive to enhance the breadth and depth of our impact and sustain such positive evaluation scores.   To learn more about our training services or to have an informal discussion on how Bucks Mind can support your organisation’s training needs, please email: training@bucksmind.org.uk
