At Mind and Matter, we work closely with the Kodagu and Mysuru district child protection units, supporting children from vulnerable backgrounds who need care and protection. Our goal is to empower these children by equipping them with knowledge, emotional resilience, and life skills that prepare them for a brighter future.
Expanding Horizons & Building Confidence
We expose children to a diverse range of subjects and fields, sparking curiosity and broadening their perspectives. By bringing in resource persons—experts from various domains—we enable them to learn beyond textbooks, engage in meaningful discussions, and build confidence in interacting with the world around them.
Strengthening Emotional & Social Well-being through the Mentorship Programme
Our mentorship program plays a crucial role in helping children navigate their emotions, relationships, and self-identity. Trained volunteers work with small groups of 6-7 children, ensuring individual attention and personalized guidance.
- Boosting self-esteem and self-awareness
- Developing interpersonal skills and healthy relationships
- Learning emotional regulation and coping mechanisms
- Encouraging self-expression and self-discovery
Career Guidance Program with Women and Child Development Department
On February 5, 2024, Mind and Matter, in collaboration with the Government of Karnataka, conducted a Career Guidance Program for 275 children from child care institutions across the state. With 55 resource persons, we facilitated discussions on conventional and unconventional career paths, encouraging children to explore diverse opportunities.
The event concluded with a musical session by Vasu Dixit and Karthik Gubbi, reinforcing the message that passion and creativity are essential in every journey.
