Clinical Camps by Pukaar Community
Attending university can be a stressful time for many students. The shaming that often occurs when one is unable to manage the slew of academic, personal and co-curricular tasks, only propagates a negative environment which further strengthens the stigma around mental health. In this context, many young people experience the first onset of mental health problems during their university years. In collaboration with different universities, Pukaar aiming to set Mental Health Clinical Camps to provide treatment to the students who are in need.
Relieving Mental Health Pressures at FAST
To help cope with the many pressures of student life, FAST teamed up with Pukaar to provide their students with expert psychologist services. Our outsourced clinic, set up in the FAST administration block, under Miss Kiran Akbar, a qualified clinical psychologist, provides students with an outlet to freely express their pressing concerns. This collaboration has enabled so many students to prioritize and improve their mental health, enabling them to live happier, healthier lives.
