On the occasion of World Suicide Prevention Day, the students of MAHE Cooperative College of Education organized a Suicide Prevention Awareness Skit on 10th September 2025 at 4:30 PM in the college auditorium. The program was aimed at spreading awareness about mental health issues, breaking the stigma surrounding suicide, and encouraging individuals to seek help in times of distress.
The event was inaugurated by the Principal, Dr. Sreelatha K, who addressed the gathering with an insightful message on the importance of emotional well-being and the role of educators in supporting students' mental health. She emphasized the need for collective responsibility in creating a supportive and empathetic environment within educational institutions.
The skit, written and performed by B.Ed. students, portrayed real-life scenarios faced by individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. The performance highlighted the warning signs of suicidal behavior, the significance of early intervention, and the crucial support that friends, family, and educators can provide. Through powerful dialogues and emotional storytelling, the skit delivered a strong message of hope, resilience, and the value of life.
The audience was deeply moved by the performance, and many appreciated the students' efforts to address such a sensitive topic with sincerity and compassion. The event concluded with an interactive session where faculty members and students discussed mental health resources and coping strategies.
The program was a thought-provoking and impactful initiative that not only showcased the students' creativity but also served as a reminder of the importance of mental health awareness in today’s society.
