The Claret Centre for Mental Well-being (CARE) at St. Claret College, Autonomous, under
the aegis of the Department of Psychology, stands as a dedicated hub committed to fostering
mental health and overall wellbeing. It provides a safe and confidential space where students,
faculty, and the broader community can access essential mental health services. By
addressing critical concerns and bridging gaps in mental health support, CARE ensures that
individuals receive the guidance they need in a supportive and understanding environment.
With a broad spectrum of objectives, CARE actively promotes mental health awareness and
emotional resilience. It offers personalized counselling services tailored to the unique needs
of individuals, providing them with professional guidance to navigate personal and academic
challenges. Through life skills development programs, CARE fosters emotional intelligence,
resilience, and decision-making abilities, empowering individuals to handle stress and
adversity effectively. Its community outreach initiatives aim to break down societal stigma,
creating open spaces for dialogue and encouraging people to seek help without hesitation.
To further its mission, CARE regularly organizes workshops, seminars, and educational
sessions designed to enhance awareness of mental health issues. These interactive events not
only provide knowledge but also cultivate a culture of understanding and empathy. A key
highlight of CARE's efforts is its annual celebration of World Mental Health Day, a vibrant
occasion featuring competitions, activities, and creative engagements that promote awareness
while fostering a sense of belonging and community. Through these initiatives, CARE
becomes more than just a support system—it transforms into a beacon of hope and
encouragement, ensuring that mental health is prioritized, respected, and celebrated. As
conversations around well-being continue to evolve, CARE remains steadfast in its
commitment to creating an inclusive and compassionate environment where no one feels
alone on their journey to mental wellness.
