President's Vision

Dr. Ruksheda Syeda

Dr. Ruksheda Syeda

HON. VICE-PRESIDENT

My vision aligns with the ethos of the Bombay Psychiatric Society (BPS): fostering mental health awareness, advancing education, and promoting innovation. Our primary goal is to enhance evidence-based training for members and allied mental health professionals, ensuring they are equipped with the latest, research-backed knowledge to provide the highest standard of care.

We will implement comprehensive Psychological First Aid (PFA) training to empower individuals from organisations working at grass root levels, to offer immediate, practical support during mental health crises and encourage professional help seeking. Additionally, we aim to enhance psychiatric literacy among pharmacists, enabling them to better understand psychiatric medications and provide informed guidance to patients, thus ensuring cohesive care with empathy.

Leveraging digital platforms and social media, we plan to amplify psychiatric awareness, disseminate accurate information, and engage the public to reduce stigma. Our focus on youth mental health includes targeted programs for schools and colleges to promote mental wellness from an early age, integrating mental health education into the curriculum, and providing platforms for young voices.
