I AM WELLBEING

"When a plant has been in the sun too long, without much water, it starts to droop, looks dry and dull. If you just give it a little extra water, move it to the shade, help it shed the drying leaves, it will slowly in time start growing new branches and new leaves, bright and strong once again. Similar is the situation with a child who has experienced trauma. All they really need is a little more compassion, protection, and patience" - Preeta Ganguli, Research Coordinator, I  Am.

Education is both the means as well as the end to a better life: the means because it empowers an individual to earn his/her livelihood and the end because it increases one's awareness on a range of issues – from healthcare to appropriate social behaviour to understanding one's rights – and in the process help him/her evolve as a better citizen.

ABOUT ACEs Children experiencing multiple Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are exposed to threatening and harmful environments on a regular basis. Exposure to several adverse childhood experiences has been found to increase the risk of attempting suicide by as much as 1200%, the risk of getting lung disease by 400%, and can reduce life span by even 20 years in case of ACE scores of 6 or more. A higher ACE exposure is also associated with a 4 time increase in prevalence of mental illness whilst still in childhood itself.
