Seniors & Healthy Ageing

What is the Vayofit program for senior citizens?

Vayofit Online Program is MHITR's holistic wellness program for adults aged 55 and above. It combines gentle movement and physiotherapy with cognitive activities, brain games, and yoga to support physical, mental and emotional wellbeing as people age. Vayofit sessions are available online across India.

How can I help my elderly parents stay active and healthy?

A healthy ageing routine can include regular movement, appropriate physical activity, cognitive engagement, social connection and opportunities to stay mentally and emotionally engaged. For families looking for structured support, Vayofit Online Program combines physiotherapy, cognitive activities, and yoga for adults aged 55 and above.

What are the best activities for senior citizens to stay mentally and physically active?

Activities should match the person's abilities and interests. Gentle movement, physiotherapy-based exercises, yoga, brain games, cognitive activities, family interaction and social activities can all contribute to an active ageing routine. Vayofit Online Program brings several of these elements together through a structured wellness program for adults 55+.

Does Vayofit include brain games and memory activities for seniors?

Yes. Vayofit Online Program includes brain games and cognitive stimulation alongside physiotherapy and yoga. MHITR also offers a separate Vayofit Wellness Kit, a screen-free cognitive activity kit for older adults that includes activities involving memory, language, reasoning and mindfulness.

Students & Schools

How does excessive screen time affect teenagers' mental health?

Excessive screen use can be associated with challenges such as reduced focus, disrupted routines and difficulties with emotional and social wellbeing. MHITR's Igniting Minds program specifically addresses digital balance, screen overload and healthier digital habits as part of its student wellbeing and life-skills approach.

What mental health activities work for students in schools?

Mental health activities for teens work best when students take part rather than listen — group discussion, role-play, reflection exercises, journalling and gamified modules. Schools planning mental health day activities for students, or mental health awareness activities for students through the year, can run them as one-off sessions or as structured Igniting Minds modules on campus.

What are life skills for students?

Life skills for students are the practical thinking and emotional skills that school subjects rarely cover — critical thinking, decision making, learning how to learn, confidence and self-esteem, self-motivation, open-mindedness and resilience. Our guide to life skills every teenager needs before college explains each one with everyday examples.

What is life skills training?

Life skills training is structured, facilitator-led practice in those skills rather than a lecture about them — students work through real situations, reflect, and try again. Igniting Minds delivers it on campus for schools, colleges and coaching institutes, aligned with NEP 2020 and WHO life-skills frameworks.

Why is mental health important for students?

Emotional wellbeing shapes concentration, sleep, relationships and how a student responds to setbacks, so it affects learning long before it becomes a clinical concern. Schools supporting students with mental health problems can combine counselling with preventive life-skills work — see our teen mental health resources and Igniting Minds.

How is Igniting Minds delivered in schools and colleges?

Igniting Minds is delivered offline on campus through interactive, facilitator-led sessions — as workshops, weekly modules, or intensives for schools and colleges across India, in English and Hindi.

Therapy & Mental Health

Does MHITR provide online therapy in India?

Yes. MHITR provides online and hybrid therapy across India, including individual, couples and family therapy, with CBT and other evidence-based approaches. Psychotherapeutic Services uses clinical assessments and therapist matching to support personalised care.

How do I know if I need therapy?

Therapy may be worth considering when emotional, psychological or behavioural difficulties are persistent, interfere with daily life, or are difficult to manage without professional support. MHITR's Psychotherapeutic Services begin with clinical assessment and therapist matching to help determine an appropriate level of care. For urgent or emergency mental health situations, contact a qualified healthcare professional or emergency service rather than relying on a wellness program.

Are MHITR therapists qualified and licensed?

MHITR states that its psychotherapeutic services are delivered by licensed clinical psychologists and qualified professionals. Its Psychotherapeutic Services page also describes therapy as evidence-based and matched to assessment outcomes and care needs.

Is online therapy confidential?

MHITR states that information in its therapy services is handled confidentially in line with its privacy and data-protection policies, with reports and sessions shared within the individual's care pathway. MHITR's privacy policy also describes safeguards for personal information and sensitive mental-health information.
