Mental Health Day 2023-2024

On World Mental Health Day, Hamilton parents, students, and staff members were involved in raising awareness of the importance of mental health and fighting stigma around it. They participated in a range of activities, which included wearing green to show their support in raising awareness.

Our parents were also invited to attend a Stress Management Workshop led by one of our Hamilton parent’s Clinical Psychologist, Mrs. Misbah Mansha.

The workshop highlighted the importance of prioritizing mental health, signs of emotional and physical stress, identifying triggers, and setting healthy coping strategies. Parents were also guided through practicing mindful breathing exercises and grounding techniques.

“I just want to give kudos to the team at Hamilton for putting together such an amazing, informative, and interactive session on Cancer Awareness! It was very well put together, and we, the parents, left with important information to practice in our everyday lives”

“At first, I was hesitant to attend as I attended the last one, and I thought it would be the same. it wasn’t… Dr Mansha was so dynamic and engaged with every parent in the room. I found the session very encouraging and motivating. She went over many things, like the emotional and physical signs of stress, and gave us great coping mechanisms on how to manage stress. At the end of the session, I reevaluated a lot and found many things I could change to help me from feeling stressed or overwhelmed. Our mental health is important in order to be at our best, not only for our families but for ourselves too. Thank you, Hamilton, for hosting such awesome sessions that are so encouraging and helpful to us as parents.” – Mrs. Papa – Parent.
