As part of the ongoing partnership between UNESCO MGIEP and Adayu, we were delighted to host Dr. Samir Parikh, Director of Mental Health and Behavioural Sciences at Fortis Healthcare, at the UN House today.

Welcomed by UN India’s Resident Coordinator, Stefan Priesner, the session sparked an important conversation on prioritizing mental health in the workplace 💬

Dr. Parikh shared simple yet powerful steps to support one another:
✨ Recognise – Notice when yourself/ someone seems distressed
👂 Listen – Be present without judgment
🤝 Link – Guide them towards professional support

The session brought together 80+ colleagues from across UN agencies, with more than 250 joining the session online, all walking away with valuable insights!

Emotional resilience is not only one of our most valuable assets in today’s world, but also an essential step in taking care of our minds.

A mind that is self-aware is emotionally regulated and better equipped to tackle all sorts of situations confronting it.
