Transforming Lives: Unacademy’s Seminar on Enhancing Learners’ Emotional and Intellectual Well-Being
Unacademy Centre Guwahati held its inaugural seminar on April 30, themed “Peak Mind: Intellectual and Emotional Well-Being of Learners.” The event successfully drew students, parents, and experts to engage in crucial discussions about mental health and the academic challenges that learners face today.
Prominent speakers at the seminar included Dr. Bidita Das, an Assistant Professor at Handique Girls’ College and the Joint Secretary of the Psychologists Association of North East India, alongside Phuleshwar Basumatary, the Deputy Commissioner of Taxes and Joint Commissioner of State Tax for Assam. Their insights were aimed at equipping attendees with the tools necessary for navigating academic pressures and fostering emotional resilience.
Basumatary addressed key topics such as under-confidence and the importance of perseverance amid obstacles. Drawing from his personal experiences, he shared practical strategies to encourage students to stay committed to their aims, even when faced with challenges. His message resonated with many in the audience, providing a grounding perspective on the importance of mental fortitude in educational pursuits.
Dr. Das contributed to the conversation by introducing the PERMA model, a psychological framework designed to enhance and sustain positive mental health. The model focuses on five essential components: positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment. Her presentation provided invaluable insights into how students can cultivate these elements to improve their well-being and academic performance.
The seminar culminated in an interactive session where parents expressed their concerns regarding academic anxiety, excessive digital usage, and behavioral distractions that their children face. Participants highlighted widespread issues such as overthinking and the absence of structured learning routines, further illuminating the complexities of modern education.
This event not only raised awareness about mental health in educational settings but also fostered a collaborative community atmosphere where learners, parents, and professionals could share their experiences and insights. Unacademy Centre Guwahati continues to prioritize the emotional and intellectual welfare of students, emphasizing the need for ongoing dialogues surrounding these pivotal topics.
