21st March 2025 – In celebration of International Happiness Day, We organized a thought-provoking event aimed at promoting digital wellness and mental health awareness. The event, titled “Disconnecting from Digital Stress and Celebrating Real Happiness,” was held at Bhanu Das Chavan Hall, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and the Government College of Engineering, reaching over 450 young participants.
The foundation’s initiative included a sensitization session about the impact of excessive screen time on mental and emotional well-being. Participants were treated to a powerful skit illustrating the effects of digital addiction. Furthermore, Mitali Randad Lathi, a Counseling Psychologist & Trainer, facilitated an insightful Group Therapy Session, guiding attendees on how to manage digital stress and improve overall well-being.
The event’s highlight was the Internet Addiction Test, which helped participants reflect on their screen time habits. This self-assessment allowed them to recognize and address the harmful effects of screen overuse. Attendees were also introduced to effective tools and techniques to create a healthier relationship with technology.
In an effort to encourage mindful digital usage, the event included a pledge to observe a Mobile Fasting Day every week. The participants also engaged in nature walks and mindfulness meditation, helping them experience mental peace and a sense of balance away from the digital world.
Chetana Empowerment Foundation’s initiative has been well-received, with many participants expressing a desire to implement these practices in their daily lives. The foundation encourages other schools and organizations to adopt similar programs to help young people manage digital stress and prioritize their mental health.
