'Know Your Body-Speak to an Expert'-Awareness program on Women's Health St.Teresa’s College (Autonomous)
In the current world
women are facing so many kinds of health issues and problems. Most of them are
not much aware of the importance of health issues and consulting a doctor for
the treatment. This happens because of the lack of knowledge about our own body
and its issues. We found that by giving an awareness class for the young women
can eliminate or reduce the increasing women’s health issues and problems. And also
can make the younger generation aware of their body and health.
We department of
Psychology arranged an awareness program for student in associations with QK
Doc (Malayala Manorama) on the topic of ‘Know Your Body –Speak to an Expert’ on
11th December 2020 from 12 p.m to 2 p.m. The objective of the program
