Class : XII

Date : 21.10.2022

On the 21st of October 2022, 23 students of Class XII who study Psychology, went to Antara Hospital, in Dakshin Gobindopur, Kolkata accompanied by Ms. Ranjana Das. Antara Hospital is a mental health hospital helping patients suffering from different psychological disorders by offering treatment, including counselling and medication, and providing them with a place to stay to improve their condition. The students were permitted to visit and interact with female patients suffering from different kinds of disorders including schizophrenia, mental retardation and bipolar disorder. They met highly educated and intelligent patients there along with intellectually deficient ones. They also learnt about the occupational therapy center in the hospital where the patients in rehab learn to make different artifacts and sell them. On the whole, the field trip was very educational, enriching as well as informative and helped students gain practical knowledge about several theoretical concepts.
