The Rehabilitation Society at The University of Faisalabad successfully organized a Stress Management Workshop titled “Managing Academic Stress: Practical Strategies for Students’ Well-Being and Resilience.” The workshop was held on March 6, 2026, and aimed to help students understand and effectively manage the challenges of academic pressure.
The session was conducted by Ms. Hafsa Farrukh, a distinguished Clinical Psychologist, Wellbeing Counsellor, Lecturer in Arden University Programmes, and CEO of Psynergy Lounge. With extensive experience in counselling, psychotherapy, and mental health awareness programs, she has been actively involved in guiding students and professionals toward improved emotional well-being and resilience.
During the session, Ms. Farrukh highlighted the increasing levels of stress experienced by students due to assignments, examinations, and academic expectations. She shared practical strategies for managing stress, including mindfulness techniques, time-management strategies, emotional regulation, and maintaining a healthy academic balance. The workshop also encouraged students to openly discuss mental health challenges and learn constructive coping mechanisms.
The interactive nature of the session allowed students to actively engage with the speaker, ask questions, and gain valuable insights into improving focus, productivity, and overall well-being. The workshop provided participants with practical tools that can help them navigate academic challenges with confidence and resilience.
This initiative aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being, by promoting mental health awareness and encouraging healthy coping strategies among students. It also supports SDG 4: Quality Education, as it equips learners with essential life skills that contribute to both academic success and personal development.
Through initiatives like this workshop, the Rehabilitation Society continues to foster a supportive academic environment that prioritizes student wellness, resilience, and holistic development.
