Emerging psychological trends in education and healthcare discussed at JBAS seminar

At the ‘Navigating The Future: Emerging Psychological Trends in Education and Healthcare’ conducted by the Department of Applied Psychology and Behavioral Research at the Justice Basheer Ahmed Sayeed (JBAS) College for Women on Tuesday, eminent speakers spoke on psychological trends, solution-focused therapy, evolving approaches to mental healthcare and other related topics.

At the inaugural session, J. Radhakrishnan, Director of the Anna Administrative Staff College and Director General of Training, spoke about building resilient healthcare systems, lessons from COVID-19, and mental health from a bureaucratic perspective. “Whether responding to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, dengue outbreaks, the COVID-19 pandemic, or other public emergencies, one lesson has remained constant which is about how resilience is built before a crisis, tested during a crisis, and strengthened after a crisis,” he said.
