Nasha Mukti Bharat Pakhwada
Substance Abuse Awareness Workshop for
Class XI
Blue Bells Group of
Schools is dedicated to developing not only intellectual
brilliance but also a sense of responsible citizenship. A thoughtful Substance
Abuse Awareness Workshop for Class XI students was organized for Nasha
Mukti Bharat Pakhwada, providing a strong platform for discussion,
contemplation, and empowerment on August 29, 2025, in BBMS.
The session was conducted
under the mentorship of Dr. Alka Saxena, Associate Director (Social &
Emotional Learning), Blue Bells Group of Schools.
The students were
informed about the signs and symptoms of Substance Abuse. The session
was designed to raise awareness regarding the ill effects of substance use and
enhance students' skills to make sound, healthy choices. They were apprised of various
types of substances, depressants, stimulants, hallucinogens, narcotics, and
inhalants, and the ways they affect physical, emotional, and social
health. Red eyes, change in mood, secrecy, and personality change were all
explained at length as signs. Interactive exercises such as the Stress
Coping Wheel and Match the Sign card game were an engaging and effective
learning experience.
The
reflective part motivated the students to identify positive coping
mechanisms, including exercise, music, writing journals, and being
mindful. Many students also gave positive feedback, appreciating the
interactive format and sharing that the session made them reflect deeply on
peer pressure and self-care. Ongoing
monthly sessions will continue to be conducted on various topics to further
raise awareness and promote informed, healthy choices among students.
