Feedback from Shreya Dwivedi

The environment of the institution is really calm and comforting for the clients of half way home and day care and provides them a space in which they can evolve mentally and helps them in their mental and physical development. The clients are treated very sincerely and they are given a very productive routine to follow which helps them to get in their normal life. Medications are also given on time for them to get better. My experience in this institution was really good; I learned many new things and developed many qualities which are required for being a better counselor like empathetic understanding, handling difficult clients and many more valuable lessons. Special thanks to Dr. Shashi Rai, Miss Nancy Bhardwaj and all the counselors for providing us with such great experience.

Feedback from Ricky Shanker

Through this internship, I have developed self confidence in myself and now I always try to think positive in most of the situations. I learned more than I ever expected. Development in my communication skills was one of the strongest and most apparent skills that I learned during my stay here. I learned a lot and got a good exposure as to how to apply your academic knowledge into rehabilitation setting. This place is really great to learn and increase our confidence and empathetic values in life. I thoroughly enjoyed my internship and want to thank all the authorities of Nav Uday for their help and support all through.

Thank You

FEEDBACKS OF INTERNS

Feedback from Ms.Ghazel Soni

I want to acknowledge my experience at Nav Uday (RFS) and how it gave me exposure and confidence in not just this field context but in other ways too. I loved to work with my fellow interns who turned out to be my source of motivation too. I feel whole heartedly grateful to both the counsellors I was guided with. It was a great opportunity to learn and observe clients and learn about how exactly to deal with them. Every member of staff has been helpful.

The concept of Psychosocial Rehabilitation is not just a term for me, it has become a good- great experienced in my personal life and habits too, I feel motivated and driven to find out more about this field. And above all, I wonder about coming here again and stay connected for important days and events.

My college report would be having lots of lessons, stories and experiences behind its text. It was a great opportunity to learn, a great place to feel encouraged and supported, counting every single day, it has been a blessing to get familiar with Nav- Uday family.

Thank You

Feedback from Ms. Namrata Chatterjee

My experience as an intern at Nav Uday Mansik Swasthya Sansthan has been deeply enriching. Primarily, I have modelled the methods of the counsellors - Ms. Sheeba and Ms. Nikita. Working at a psychiatric facility is not for the faint of heart; it requires immense patience, compassion, skill, and professional integrity. My biggest learning has been how to effectively interact with patients suffering from chronic mental illness . I've also learnt how to conduct cognitively/ emotionally engaging activities with the patients. Alongside this, I have been fortunate enough to be here for a few events and celebration like birthdays, Independence Day, Diwali, and World Mental Health Day. These events allow the patients to skillfully perform dances, skits, and songs. All this positively contributes to their mental health.

I am deeply grateful to Dr. Shashi Rai ma'am for allowing me to observe her OPD sessions, and promptly explain the illness of each patient she caters to. I am also thankful to Dr. Divya Prasad ma'am and Dr. P.K. Khattri sir for the classes they took with me. My learning journey was deeply enriched due to their contributions. Lastly, I am grateful to the clients at Nav Uday for allowing me into their world and bring receptive to my interventions and suggestions.

I believe that fostering mental well-being for counsellors and caregivers is of supreme importance. I have had the privilege of being a part of India's mental health landscape for 2-3 years now and gain some experience through my interactions with professionals. I would like to suggest a workshop facilitated by me on the topic of ''Compassion Fatigue'' for mental health workers and caregivers at Nav uday. I would be happy to discuss the details and bring this in fruition. I end this note with immense gratitude and regard for the entire workforce here. You are doing god's work.

Thank You
