City schools in Kolkata are enhancing their focus on student mental well-being, particularly for adolescents. This proactive approach involves integrating school counsellors and fostering peer support systems. Special interactive sessions and one-on-one meetings provide a safe space for students to discuss concerns they may not share with parents.

The joint efforts of educators, psychologists, and parents are deemed essential for fostering a healthy environment for students to thrive.
