Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music (SAM), an esteemed institution dedicated to music education, has proudly announced its partnership with Amaha, India’s leading mental health organisation. This significant collaboration aims to integrate Amaha’s College Well-being Programme within SAM, offering comprehensive mental health and well-being services to both students and faculty. This initiative aligns with SAM’s commitment to nurturing a supportive educational environment, fostering a culture of care, and prioritising mental well-being.
Commenting on the partnership, Siddhartha Ramanathan, Music Producer and Educator at Swarnabhoomi expressed, “A bright future for young and emerging artists needs consideration of both their physical and mental well-being. SAM is proud to have tied up with Amaha to ensure that all our students and faculty get the support they need for their mental well-being throughout their journey with us and beyond.”
The programme will feature an integrated mental health system of services, including mental health workshops, surveys, individual therapy and psychiatry interventions, stress management techniques, and access to an online mental health platform. Amaha’s self-care app will offer a highly personalised self-care journey for each individual, tailored to their specific needs, preferences, and context. This will enable them to actively work towards their mental health goals through a series of action-oriented tasks, goal-setting, and reflections on activity logs. Leveraging the clinical expertise of more than 150 in-house therapists and psychiatrists, Amaha will deliver a comprehensive, customised well-being program for SAM.
Dr. Amit Malik, CEO & Founder of Amaha, stated, “We’re excited to collaborate with Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music in their mission to promote emotional health and resilience among their students and faculty. Through this partnership, we’ll support SAM’s commitment to nurturing a supportive educational environment and prioritising mental well-being. Our program will equip their students and teachers with the tools they need to navigate academic & personal challenges.”
This partnership underscores the growing recognition of mental health’s crucial role in the holistic well-being of the educational community, especially in the challenging times following the COVID-19 pandemic. It reflects a forward-thinking approach by educational institutions to offer comprehensive emotional health support, prioritising the overall well-being of their students and faculty.
