On March 8, 2025, Don Bosco Prafulta Nerul organized an inspiring and insightful Emotional Wellness Fair. In today’s fast-paced world, where individuals constantly juggle multiple responsibilities, emotional well-being often takes a backseat. It is easy to become overwhelmed by emotions, leading to stress, anxiety, and even burnout. Prafulta strives to help individuals discover practical ways to manage their emotions, explore creative outlets, and find balance in their daily lives.

The primary objective of the Emotional Wellness Fair was to make participants aware of the tools and techniques that can be applied to navigate life’s challenges while maintaining mental and emotional health. The event catered to individuals of all ages and backgrounds, equipping them with the knowledge and strategies to enhance their emotional resilience. Based on the need, the participants met with the specialist and took a counselling session. 

Prafulta’s therapy centre is a well-equipped facility offering a comprehensive range of services. Our team consists of highly qualified professionals, including counsellors, special educators, speech therapists, occupational therapists, clinical psychologists, remedial educators, psychiatrists, and psychotherapists. The centre has an occupational therapy (OT) lab and specialized rooms for different therapies, creating a comfortable and supportive environment where individuals can seek guidance and care for their emotional and psychological needs. From school students to adults and special needs children, Prafulta is capable of addressing all kinds of issues. The newly opened Ikshana is an addition as a therapy care centre for special needs children. 

The event was meticulously organized, with the entire Prafulta team working in unison to ensure its success. Upon arrival, participants were welcomed at the registration desk, where they signed up for various activities and sessions. Student volunteers helped in directing attendees to their respective therapists and sessions, ensuring smooth coordination throughout the event. The fair featured an art station specifically designed for children, encouraging them to express their emotions through creativity and artistic exploration. This provided a joyful and engaging experience, allowing young participants to tap into their inner thoughts and feelings in a fun and therapeutic way.

Beyond being an educational experience, the Emotional Wellness Fair served as a refreshing break from the daily grind, allowing attendees to focus on themselves. It emphasized the importance of self-care, emotional intelligence, and the need to seek support when required. Overall, the event successfully fostered awareness about emotional wellness, creating a positive and nurturing space for all who attended. The initiative reaffirmed Prafulta’s commitment to mental health and well-being, inspiring individuals to prioritize their emotional health and embrace a balanced, fulfilling life.
