A four-day Life Skills Training Program was organized by NIMHANS (National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences) for Excise Officers and Vimukthi Coordinators representing all districts of the state. The program aimed to enhance the participants’ understanding of life skills and equip them with effective strategies to address substance abuse and promote mental well-being in their communities.

The training sessions were interactive and covered key topics such as communication, decision-making, stress management, emotional resilience, and problem-solving. Facilitated by experts from NIMHANS, the sessions provided practical insights and evidence-based approaches to tackle real-life challenges associated with substance use and addiction.
