At IIMS College, we are deeply committed to nurturing not only academic excellence but also the mental and emotional well-being of our entire community. In line with this commitment, we organized a two-day Psychological First Aid (PFA) Training for our faculty, teachers, and staff.
The training sessions were held on 18th and 19th May 2025, from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM at the college premises. The sessions were led by Ms. Parbati Lama, a seasoned mental health expert, in collaboration with FHEAL.

Day 1 of the training on 18th May kicked off with enthusiastic participation and a strong collective spirit. The session was highly engaging and provided valuable insights into the principles and practices of Psychological First Aid. Participants learned how to offer immediate emotional support to those experiencing stress, trauma, or crisis, skills that are essential in both academic and everyday environments. Building on this momentum, Day 2 on 19th May delved deeper into practical approaches for creating a more empathetic and supportive atmosphere at the workplace. The sessions focused on listening without judgment, responding with care, and promoting resilience among peers and students alike.
