Secrets of Mental Health by Dr. Joju John Sir

A state of well being in which the individual relies his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.

                   - WHO, 2004.

As part of Insight online meet program I had the opportunity to attend a talk given by my own teacher- Dr. Joju John, our Educational Technology teacher at Mar Theophilus Training College.




Mental Health is a state of balance between man and the world around him. Joju sir talked on the different types of mental illness, how to respond to mental health cases and also on how to boost mental health of ourselves and of others. He also talked about Corey's concept of flourishing and languishing.

It was a fruitful session.

 September 27th 2021                                       Disinterest or Uninterest Both words are used quite often today. But both words don't mean the same thing.

 26-08-2022 Last Day of Teacher Training Internship @     ST Goretti's HSS, Nalanchira The day finally came and I was feeling sad that we had to leave during the exam seasons as it prevented us from saying a proper goodbye to our students and our dear teachers.  Even during these days, students came to us to clear their doubts. Although it was our last day we still attended to our school duties and assisted teachers in their invigilation duties. At 11:15 we assembled at the Hm's office for a short vote of thanks session. I was in charge of the speech and thanked all the staff and students for their love and support. We also presented a thank you gift to the HM and also distributed some sweets. Then we had a photography session with the teachers. I can never forget the experience that I got from St Goretti school.

 Onam Celeberation          Today was the day our college celeberated Onam with pomp and festivites. It was a great day since there was a mega Thiruvathira which I took part in. Each and every student were assigned to take part in events. Even the onam sadya was appetizing. There were other stage programs which was a delight and games for our teachers. The program lasted for the whole day with the seniors and juniors of BEd, MEd and research scholars as well as teachers coming together to make it a success.
