From Hurt to Healing | Childhood, Mental Health and Finding Meaning After Loss | OCLF Panel Discussion
On 22nd Nov 2025 12.00 PM TO 12:40 PM
The session "From Hurt to Healing: Childhood, Mental Health and Finding Meaning After Loss" brought together parenting mentor Riri G Trivedi, psychiatrist Dr Samir Parikh and psychologist Dr Rozina Rana for a meaningful conversation on childhood experiences, emotional well-being and the journey toward healing. Moderator Monica Bhagwagar guided the discussion with clarity and warmth.
The panel explored how cultural hesitation and stigma often silence conversations around mental health in Indian homes. The speakers highlighted common misunderstandings, including how everyday sadness is often mistaken for depression, and why early awareness is essential for recognising real distress.
A key focus was resilience. The panelists explained that resilience is not the absence of hurt but the ability to heal, adapt and eventually find meaning after difficult experiences. They stressed the need for emotionally safe environments where young people can share their feelings without fear of judgment.
Throughout the session, the speakers encouraged help-seeking as an act of strength and emphasised the role of caregivers, educators and communities in supporting children and adolescents. Audience questions on trauma, coping and caregiver support added depth to the conversation.

The session "Parenting in the Age of Screens and Stress" featured parenting mentor and psychotherapist Riri G Trivedi in conversation with author and facilitator Mona Verma. Curated especially for new-age parents, the discussion explored the challenges of raising children in a world shaped by digital distraction, emotional overload and changing family dynamics.
Riri G Trivedi shared insights from her experience working with families, highlighting how a parent’s unhealed experiences can influence a child’s resilience.

The session encouraged parents to move from control to support, from anxiety to clarity and from perfection to mindful learning, helping them create emotionally secure and confident children in a digital world.
