2nd March 2023
Lokmanya Tilak College of Engineering
The first event of Socify- “let’s accept and talk”, was a seminar presented by a renowned Psychiatrist - Dr. Sagar Mundada. This event was conducted by the Socify club on 1st March at Lokmanya Tilak College of Engineering.
The event took place from 11:00 AM -1:30 PM in the presence of the Principal sir-Dr. Vivek Sunnapwar, HOD ma’am- Prof. Sonal Bankar, Faculty in charge- Prof. Rajendra Gawali, Teachers, and the LTCoE computer department students.
The guest speaker was warmly welcomed as the program began. Then the audience was briefed about Dr. Sagar Mundada with a quick PowerPoint presentation. After the introduction, the guest was felicitated by the principal sir. An open talk about mental health and methods for maintaining it marked the start of the seminar.
Dr. Sagar sir asked the audience to practice a 10- minute meditation so that everyone could comprehend the idea of meditation. A dose of reality about alcoholism, smoking, vaping, marijuana, drugs, etc. was eye-opening for the audience. Journaling can help you keep your mind in a good place-true or false? The audience was given enlightening clarity regarding the kinds of journaling that are beneficial and bad.
Overthinking, anxiety, and depression-the three issues that the young age group encounters most frequentlywere thoroughly discussed and taught. One of the key subjects of the seminar was the HHW (Hopelessness Helplessness and Worthlessness), which ultimately contributes to the "pandemic among teenagers"-suicide. In addition, the guest helped the public understand how to recognize suicidal behavior, how to intervene, and what kind of support should be given to the suicidal individual.
Last but not the least, the speaker discussed the reasons for overthinking and anxiety as well as ways to deal with them. Following the session, the crowd posted reviews of the speaker on Google. The advantages and disadvantages of social media were covered in the question-andanswer segment.
Principal Sir was asked to make a few closing remarks at the end of the session, and he did so by expressing his appreciation to the guest of honor and the Socify club. A vote of thanks effectively brought the event to a close.
