Workshop on Stress and Anger Management: Building Emotional Resilience

Parle Tilak Vidyalaya ( ICSE) organised an insightful workshop on “Mental Wellbeing in Adolescents- Stress and Anger Management ” for the students of Grades 7 and 8 on 5th October,2026, focusing on the importance of emotional health and positive stress coping strategies during the adolescent years.

The session was conducted by eminent experts, Dr. Rajesh Kasla, Senior Pediatrician with 35 years of experience, and Dr. Jagruti Sanghvi, Paediatrician and Adolescent Health Expert with 24 years of experience. Drawing upon their extensive experience, the doctors engaged students in understanding emotions, managing anger, building healthy relationships, and recognising when to seek support.

 Through an engaging and interactive session, students explored the causes and effects of stress and anger, learned to recognise their emotional triggers, and discussed healthy ways of expressing and managing their feelings.

The session reinforced an important message: experiencing stress and anger is a natural part of growing up, but learning to manage these emotions in a healthy and constructive manner is an important life skill. Students were encouraged to pause, reflect and respond rather than react impulsively. They were introduced to practical strategies such as mindful breathing, positive self-talk, taking a pause, communicating feelings appropriately and seeking support when needed.

The workshop helped students develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation and empathy, enabling them to handle challenging situations with greater calmness and confidence.

Through such initiatives, the school continues to demonstrate its commitment to the holistic wellbeing of its students.
