SUMMARY:1st Annual Symposium on Intervention Pathways to Wellbeing:  Families, Communities, and the Lifecycle Approach
DESCRIPTION:\n
The Centre for Research in Wellbeing and Happiness (CRWBH) at FLAME Univ
 ersity, Pune, will host its 1st Annual Symposium on 10th October 2025 (Frid
 ay) at VKS003, FLAME University, Pune, India. The symposium is envisaged to
  disseminate and reflect upon the centre’s research activities and way forw
 ard. The event brings together academicians, development practitioners, pol
 icymakers, industrialists, and domain experts for meaningful discussions an
 d deliberations. The  theme for the 1st CRWBH symposium is “Intervention Pa
 thways to Wellbeing: Families, Communities, and the Lifecycle Approach”.\n

 On the occasion of World Mental Health Day, the symposium features a plenar
 y session on “Mental Health in Context: Families, Communities, and Social S
 tructures”. The session aims to shed light on the rapid changes occurring i
 n interpersonal relationships and their impact on the psychological wellbei
 ng of persons of all ages, with a specific focus on young people. These inc
 lude fragmented families, the impact of social media and technology, work-l
 ife imbalances and frenetic lifestyles, daily life stresses, rapidly shrink
 ing quiet inner spaces and unravelling of close emotional bonds. Yet, there
  are redeeming factors too, which need to be discovered and used well. The 
 session is expected to familiarise the listeners with current mental health
  scenarios as well as ongoing research and interventional efforts to ensure
  health and happiness.\n
We also bring to you a panel session on “A Lifecyc
 le Approach to Wellbeing: Intervention Pathways” to discuss the findings fr
 om the formative assessment on elderly wellbeing in the Indian context. The
  session aims to explore the pathways of ground-level interventions to enha
 nce societal wellbeing through a lifecycle lens, and reflect upon the compl
 ex interplay of objective and subjective wellbeing measures across differen
 t phases of life. The primary focus of the session would be to discuss the 
 possibilities and feasibility of community-based interventions aimed at inc
 reasing the sense of volunteering, neighbourhood, and altruism among the el
 derly community as a potential pathway to improve their self-assessment of 
 wellbeing. The panel will deliberate upon the potential intervention models
  that are scalable from a policy standpoint to address the subject at the p
 opulation level.\n
