Suicide cases in the state capital are on the rise. To tackle the same, the Bhubaneswar Police is reaching out to a broader audience through social media platforms to spread awareness on mental health and stress management.
The increasing number of mental health disorders and stress cases have become common among students and working professionals. According to National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), Odisha witnessed 15 deaths by suicide every day in 2021. Notably, among the suicide victims, the number of males is way more than that of females.
To tackle the rising issue, the Bhubaneswar police have now taken the initiative to spread awareness among people about mental health and stress management. To reach a broader audience, the administration is using social media platforms to conduct sessions and discussions, reported The New Indian Express.
Live Conversation With Mental Health Experts
The Bhubaneswar Urban Police district is also using social media platforms, especially Twitter, to organise live conversations with mental health experts. The first live session with several experts is being organised on Wednesday (September 28).

The Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Prateek Singh, will host the event. According to officials, the initiative aims to spread awareness among the people and police officers.
Law enforcement is not just a high-risk job; it also involves mental pressure, leading to stress. The initiative also aims to improve the mental health and efficiency of cops in the Bhubaneswar police department. According to officials, similar virtual sessions, live conversations, and interactions are scheduled to happen in the future.
