We celebrate Onam, Christmas and Independence Day with invited guests from various sectors of the society. Students from schools and colleges used to visit us during festive occasions. This will give our students an opportunity for social interaction with normal peer group. The interaction of the public with our students will help to remove the social stigma about the mentally challenged. This gradually helps in social mainstreaming of the mentally challenged persons.

Every year we conduct seminars for the public, as a part of awareness program. Psychiatrists and experts in the field take classes for parents, care givers of mentally challenged persons and students.

In 2013-14, in collaboration with Govt. Mental Health Centre, we arranged a series of talks on “POSITIVE PARENTING” for the parents of both normal and mentally challenged persons. In 2015 the topic was “ATHIJEEVANAM”. The success of the seminar was that we could demonstrate “ATHIJEEVANAM” through a living example- Dr.Syam Prasad, an autistic and severe cerebral palsy person who succeeded in life and has become a Prof. of Economics at Central University, Kasargode. On Oct. 2nd , 2016, as a part of our seminar “UNARV” we introduced to the parents of differently abled persons and public another successful differently abled person, Mr. Prasanth Chandran, who is deaf, dumb, blind, mentally challenged and cerebral palsied. In 2017, the seminar ‘JEEVANAM” was on vocational training and job opportunities for mentally challenged adults. Our chief guest was Master Nayan Syam, an 8 year old boy with severe Autism but exceptionally talented (writes poems and books, writes 7 languages and scripted a short film –“SILENT IN MOBILE”). In 2018, on Oct 2nd we conducted the public awareness program “NIRAVU”, and the seminar was on “Theater as a therapeutic tool for intellectually disabled”. On Oct 2nd2019, we conducted a public seminar, “KAITHIRI” and the subject was “Marriage and sexual problems in mentally challenged persons”.
