The School of Commerce and Management, D. Y. Patil International University, conducted a Mental Health Awareness Session for the newly joined students of the BBA Semester I Batch 2026. The session was organised with the objective of creating awareness about the importance of mental well-being and supporting students as they begin a new phase of their academic journey. It focused on key aspects such as self-awareness, emotional resilience, managing academic and personal pressures, developing healthy coping mechanisms, and recognising the importance of seeking support when required. Students were encouraged to engage in open conversations about mental health and to understand the importance of fostering a supportive and empathetic environment among their peers. The session also highlighted that personal well-being plays an important role in academic success, personal growth, and overall development. Through such initiatives, the School of Commerce and Management continues to promote a positive and inclusive learning environment where well-being, empathy, and open communication are valued alongside academic excellence. The session marked a meaningful beginning to the students' BBA journey, reinforcing the message that success is not only about academic achievement but also about learning to care for oneself and supporting others along the way.
