Mentorship at child care Institutions

 

Sessions at Children Homes in Mysuru and Kodagu District:
 

Mind and Matter works alongside the Kodagu and Mysuru District Child Protection Units to support children from vulnerable backgrounds, empowering them with knowledge, emotional resilience, and essential life skills. Through exposure to diverse subjects and interactions with expert resource persons, children learn beyond textbooks—building curiosity, confidence, and a broader outlook on life. 

Our mentorship program offers personalized guidance through trained volunteers,  trained by the institution of NIMANS working closely with small groups, helping children strengthen self-esteem, emotional awareness, healthy relationships, and self-expression. 

 
Running since 2020 in collaboration with the Child Protection Unit in Mysuru and Kodagu, working with children homes and observation homes(children at risk/conflict with the law), operates throughout the year from July to February every Sunday.

Mentorship Program: Where children are paired with NIMHANS-trained Mentors to foster emotional, social, and mental resilience. Trained Mentors conduct activity based Mental well-being sessions along with English communication skills.

Resource Person sessions: Expose children to diverse fields such as law, environment, art, engineering, architecture, reptiles, theatre etc via various experts.

On February 5, 2024, in collaboration with the Government of Karnataka, we conducted a Career Guidance Program for 275 children from child care institutions across the state. With 55 resource persons, the program introduced both conventional and unconventional career paths, inspiring children to dream big. The day concluded with an uplifting musical session by Vasu Dixit and Karthik Gubbi, celebrating passion, creativity, and possibility.
