M.A. Social Work in Mental Health
Bridge Azad Scholar, 2023-24
Growing up in a family where my father is a bookseller and my mother a loving homemaker, I developed a profound appreciation for knowledge and literature. While I may lack formal training and technical expertise in social work and counseling, I firmly believe that where there is a will, there is always a way. Guided by this principle, I am determined to contribute to society within my means. By embarking on this program, I aspire to acquire the necessary tools and techniques under the guidance of exceptional mentors to address the issues of mental health effectively. I am incredibly grateful to Team Bridge for selecting me as a recipient of the Azad scholarship. The scholarship goes beyond financial assistance; it encompasses the invaluable moral and emotional support provided by the team. Their friendly demeanor and genuine communication have been instrumental in helping me navigate my new environment.
