Preparedness for Future Obstacles – Phase 1 | Group Discussion Programme
Government Engineering College, Mananthavady
On 16th December 2025 (Tuesday), I had the privilege of serving as the Group Discussion Team Leader for Phase 1: “Preparedness for Future Obstacles”, a structured mental well-being initiative organised for B.Tech final-year students at Government Engineering College, Mananthavady.
This programme was designed to be completed in a single day, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all final-year batches through well-planned, department-wise sessions.
Programme Focus
The session aimed to:
Identify anxiety and emotional concerns among final-year engineering students
Address academic pressure, career uncertainty, and transition-related stress
Encourage self-reflection and open dialogue on life after graduation
Observe and document concerns for further therapeutic support
Through guided group discussions, students actively shared their thoughts, challenges, and expectations in a supportive and non-judgmental space.
Each session included structured discussion, expert observation, documentation, and solution-oriented guidance.
Team Support
I was ably supported by a committed team of 8 Psychology Internship Students, whose facilitation, observation, and documentation were vital to the smooth ex*****on of the programme.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Principal for the support and encouragement extended towards this programme.
My heartfelt thanks to Jyothi Madam, Program Coordinator and HRD Cell Coordinator, for her dedicated guidance, coordination, and constant support in making this initiative successful.
I also extend my appreciation to the staff representatives and student representatives for their cooperation and active involvement throughout the programme.
A special note of appreciation to my Group Discussion facilitation team, whose commitment and teamwork made the sessions meaningful and effective:
Sabitha P, Akhil M, Aleena Ann Baby, Anannya Arun, Anjitha E.S, Fathimath Fidha, Feba Sony, Nandakishore C.S
Their professional support and enthusiasm greatly contributed to the smooth conduct of the sessions and enriched my personal and professional experience.
Key Outcomes
Enhanced awareness of personal strengths and future challenges
Early identification of stress, anxiety, and emotional concerns
Improved peer interaction and emotional expression
Strong foundation laid for Phase 2 – Group Psychotherapy Sessions
Personal Reflection
Leading this programme was a deeply enriching experience both personally and professionally. Interacting closely with B.Tech final-year students at a crucial life transition reinforced the importance of mental health support within technical education settings.
Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to student well-being and resilience at Government Engineering College, Mananthavady. Looking forward to continuing this meaningful journey.
