The Telangana Police Academy (TGPA) held a Mental Health Conclave to discuss stress, anxiety and personal or family challenges faced by police personnel, and to develop an action plan to support their well-being.
Academy director and DGP Abhilasha Bisht chaired the conclave. Participants included additional DGP (Training) Akhun Sabharwal, DIG (Battalions) Murali Krishna and deputy directors D. Muralidhar, G. Kavitha and K.R.K. Prasad.
Psychiatrists and clinical psychologists from Asha Hospital, the Institute of Mental Health and the Hyderabad Psychiatric Society shared their views and recommendations.
Bisht said regular sessions on mental health, stress management, emotional regulation and resilience could help police personnel handle difficult situations. She said these sessions could be included in both recruit induction training and in-service courses.
Participants also discussed support for officers’ family and personal challenges, including access to counselling. The academy will prepare practical recommendations for a mental health curriculum tailored to police personnel at all levels of the Telangana Police Department.
