More than 150 educators from 30 schools across the region attended the session that accentuated the importance of maintaining a right work-life balance by incorporating stress management techniques like mindfulness, meditation, and physical exercise.

The scope of these training programs is further being expanded to train teachers in dealing with disorders such as dyspraxia or developmental coordination disorders (DCDs). “We have also evolved our pro-bono training module to include contextual topics in our endeavour to reach the remote schools of the country. With this attempt, we furthered the accessibility and affordability to the underserved communities in India and abroad,” said Dr. Sahni.
