Field Visits

Field Visit to the National Institute of Mental Health 

As part of our academic journey at the Buddhist and Pali University of Sri Lanka, the English Medium First-Year students participated in a field visit to the National Institute of Mental Health.

This visit provided valuable exposure to the practical aspects of mental health care and the role of psychological and counselling services in modern society. We had the opportunity to observe the functioning of different units, understand patient care approaches, and gain insight into the importance of empathy, ethics, and professionalism in mental health practice.

The experience also highlighted the connection between Buddhist teachings and mental well-being, especially in areas such as mindfulness, compassion, and emotional balance. It was an enriching opportunity to bridge theoretical knowledge with real-world application.

Overall, the visit was both educational and inspiring, encouraging us to reflect on the significance of mental health awareness and the role we can play as future contributors to society.
