Event Description

Yellow symbolises happiness. A colour associated with hope. May being Mental Health Awareness Month, The Yellow Party calls for a celebration while focusing on the all-important question – What makes you happy? Join us for an evening of conversation with young individuals about the importance of mental health, a live music performance by Huyana, pop-up food and bake stall by Cafe Plume and beverages by Arbor Brewing Company. We are taking it up a notch with the craziness and going all-out yellow on this one! So come prepared for yellow (seasonal) food and drinks! There will be a vibrant community that values mental health alongside engaging activities and some feel-good, upbeat music to get you grooving. And lastly, don’t forget… the dress code is yellow!

5:30 pm | Note to Self: Emotions Make Us Human | Discussion 6:15 pm – 7:15 pm | Live Music Performance by Huyana

Note to Self: Emotions Make Us Human | One out of six young people are dealing with a mental health condition in India. Navigating such experiences and accessing mental health care can be a difficult and often lonely terrain. As young professionals working with young people in the city, the panelists will share insights about common reasons for seeking help post the pandemic, the challenges individuals face in countering stigma around mental health (internal and external), the use of social media for self help, the role of substances in managing difficult emotional states, and finally what families and friends can do when they find someone struggling with emotional problems and when do they decide that they need help? Lastly, they will also touch upon whether young people over diagnose themselves and is that a good thing or not.

A discussion between Rohan Patankar, Bakul Dua and Dr. Jayanth Mahadevan moderated by Dr. Prabha Chandra.
