Suicide Prevention Day Awareness Drive
Managing Difficult Conversations and Creating Hope
September 10, 2025
Department of Psychology and KCW Counselling Cell of Khalsa College for Women, Civil
Lines, Ludhiana organised a mental health awareness drive to mark the Suicide Prevention
Day on September 10, 2025. The program commenced with the inauguration of an awareness
rally by the Principal Dr. Kamaljit Grewal from the college grounds. The volunteers held
placards and brochures and shared them with other students and members of the community.
The aim was to highlight the significance of talking about the subject in order to reduce
stigma around such uncomfortable issues. They propagated open conversations along with
education on mental health and shared resources so as to spread the word and promote
support for those affected.
Thereafter, various groups of students went to different departments of the college with
special informative brochures for the heads of the departments and teachers. They aimed to
sensitize them on how to help individuals in crisis, and provide them with various tips on
language to use and correct questions to ask.
The Director Dr. Mukti Gill and the Principal Dr. Kamaljit Grewal appreciated the
enthusiasm of the volunteers of Counselling Cell for raising awareness and fostering a
supportive environment for various mental health issues for the benefit of the students and the
community.
