The coverage stresses the need to protect children’s mental well-being and build greater awareness around substance-use risks from an early age.
Samyukta Karnataka covered the World Mental Health Day and Cadabam’s Group’s 34th anniversary celebration in Bengaluru, where Dr. Sri Shivarathri Deshikendra Mahaswamiji of Suttur Math called on parents and school managements to take greater care that children do not fall into substance use.
Speakers also stressed that mental peace and emotional security matter as much as physical health, and that elders deserve an environment that honours their experience.
At Cadabam’s, we believe prevention starts with awareness — at home, in schools and across communities — and that mental healthcare, recovery and dignified elder care belong together.
