Mangaluru, Aug 23: The MSc Clinical Psychology students of St Agnes College conducted an outreach program for Sai Nikethana, Manjeshwar. Sai Nikethana is a charitable trust that believes that providing love and care is the highest form of social justice.

Since its incorporation of the trust in 2007, it has primarily focused on treating and rehabilitating the less fortunate. Their work includes providing shelter for those who are homeless or abandoned by families, inculcating social skills among those who have mental and physical disabilities, and offering psychological, physical and medical support on a need-basis.

The community engaged and responded with great enthusiasm. The students presented a module on self care and emotional management. This began with a presentation on physical health and also engaged the group in some exercises. They then touched upon emotional health which was accompanied by breathing activities and teaching them some coping skills.

They then facilitated some cognitive activities in relation to memory. They concluded the presentation with some insights on spiritual health and building healthy relationships briefly.

This was followed a short tour of the place that was filled with greenery and animals. They trust members shared stories of some of the people living in the community.

The programme began with a welcome speech, an auspicious beginning with an invocation song by Sreekruthi, followed by a group song and group dance. The Agnes students thanked everyone for this prestigious opportunity to spend the day with them. They concluded the program with a vote of thanks to express their gratitude for a deeply wholesome day.
