Counseling Cell presented three impactful short films to SYBCOM students. Free lecture slots were effectively utilized for the same, providing a valuable learning experience outside the regular curriculum. These films offered a clear and honest look into mental health, helping students gain a deeper understanding of important issues. The following short films were screened:
- OCD ft. Steven Ogg portrayed the challenges faced by someone living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, breaking common myths and encouraging empathy.
- The short film “Clean” portrayed the emotional struggles between two sisters, highlighting themes of suppressed emotions and the need for control, emphasizing the importance of empathy and understanding in mental wellbeing.
- The Reality of Having Anxiety – by FilterCopy used humor to share the everyday experiences of anxiety, especially among young people, making it relatable for many students.
Expected outcome of the activity:
It is expected that this experience will encourage students to develop greater empathy, promote open conversations about mental wellbeing, and contribute to reducing stigma around mental health within the campus community.
