Newton School has partnered with The Mind & Company to enhance mental health support for its student community. This collaboration aims to empower students by providing them access to online counselling sessions, tailored mental health programs, and resources that help manage stress, build resilience, and navigate the challenges of upskilling and career transitions.
This initiative underscores Newton School’s commitment to holistic education, creating an environment that prioritises both academic and emotional well-being. The Mind & Company conducted 45-minute one-on-one counselling sessions with Newton School students, addressing their unique mental health needs and seamlessly integrating therapy into the platform.
Nishant Chandra, Co-founder of Newton School, stated, “At Newton School, we believe in a holistic learning approach where students’ mental health is as important as their professional success. With expert support from The Mind & Company, we are not only equipping students to handle stress effectively but also striving to normalise mental health conversations. This is a crucial step towards fostering a healthier and more productive learning culture.”
A survey conducted among 150 Newton School students revealed that 85 per cent expressed interest in mental health support, and 97 per cent found the initiative to be a valuable addition to their online learning experience. The overwhelmingly positive feedback highlights the significance of addressing mental health in education and the necessity of initiatives that promote both personal and professional growth.
Priya G Arun Prasad, Co-founder and Director of The Mind & Company, said, “Students’ mental health has been a growing concern for years. It is incredibly encouraging to see new-age educational institutes like Newton School normalising mental health discussions in the academic space. We are dedicated to creating a safe environment where students can seek guidance and build resilience for both personal and academic success.”
The partnership has laid a robust foundation for integrating professional mental health support into education. Students have expressed the need for more frequent sessions, group workshops, and curated self-help tools. Experts from The Mind & Company will focus on addressing prevalent issues such as career anxiety, stress, overthinking, and time management, ensuring students receive comprehensive emotional support.
