Guest Speaker Programme – Mental Well-being: “Being Your Own Friend”

“Wherever we’re trying to go, we do not bully ourselves there. We believe in ourselves there.” — Leeana Tankersley

On 15 April 2026, the Biology Department of Delhi Public School, R.K. Puram organised a Guest Speaker Programme for students of Class XII (Science stream) on the theme “Being Your Own Friend.” The session was conducted by Dr. Tripti Choudhary Vaid, an eminent adolescent and young adult psychologist associated with Apollo Clinic, East of Kailash.

Dr. Tripti Choudhary Vaid is a highly experienced practitioner with over 15 years of expertise in addressing emotional and psychological concerns among adolescents and young adults. Specialising in emotional disorders, she has worked extensively in areas such as depression, anxiety, behavioural challenges, eating disorders, OCD, PTSD, and trauma-based psychotherapy, including EMDR. An International Affiliate Member of the American Psychological Association, she is deeply committed to empowering young individuals and guiding them towards emotional resilience and self-realisation.

The programme commenced with a warm welcome and felicitation of the guest speaker.

In her engaging and thought-provoking presentation, Dr.Vaid emphasised the importance of developing a healthy relationship with oneself. She encouraged students to recognise that they are at the centre of their own lives and must take responsibility for their thoughts, emotions, and actions. Drawing from her presentation , she outlined practical strategies to strengthen one’s relationship with oneself, including prioritising self-care, showing self-appreciation, practising kindness, staying curious, acknowledging mistakes, and remaining true to one’s values.

She also guided students on managing difficult emotions by encouraging them to acknowledge uncomfortable thoughts, process their feelings constructively, and not be influenced by gossip or external negativity. Emphasising that “self-love is a process,” she highlighted the importance of emotional awareness, self-compassion, and seeking guidance from trusted sources such as parents, teachers, or mentors when needed.

The session was highly interactive, prompting students to reflect on their own behaviours and thought patterns through simple yet meaningful activities like journaling and self-appreciation exercises. Her relatable examples and practical approach made the session both insightful and impactful.

The programme concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Ms.Niva Chhonkar. The session left students with a powerful takeaway — the importance of treating themselves with the same kindness, understanding, and compassion that they extend to others, thereby fostering emotional well-being and personal growth.

The programme was coordinated by Ms Kusum Yadav of the Biology Department.
