Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], April 1 (ANI/NewsVoir): United Way of Delhi, in partnership with the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences (NIMHANS) and the Office of the Principal Scientific Advisor (PSA) to Government of India, organised Svasti: A National Consultation on Charting a Roadmap for Mental Health Services at NIMHANS, Bengaluru
The National Institute of Mental Health and Neurological Sciences (Nimhans) has developed TAWS-16, a tool that organisations can use to assess work stress among employees. Though some companies are already measuring their employees’ stress levels in various ways, TAWS-16 is the first tool in India to exclusively measure work-related stress.
Violence by alcoholic partners has been a major concern for women in the city, a Nimhans survey has found. Of the 2,044 women surveyed in rural and urban Bengaluru, 27.3 per cent had been physically harmed by a drunk family member. And in 80 per cent of these cases, the harm was inflicted by their partner.
