About

I’m Arshia Jaiswal, a Psychology undergraduate at the University of Delhi, deeply passionate about mental health, emotional well-being, and understanding human behavior. I am particularly interested in applying psychological knowledge to real-world settings to promote awareness, reduce stigma, and support individuals across different life stages. I have hands-on experience in parent care settings, where I have been involved in group activity facilitation and dementia-focused engagement. These experiences have strengthened my empathy, active listening skills, and ability to provide compassionate, person-centered support while maintaining professional conduct in care environments. I strictly adhere to ethical guidelines and value confidentiality, respect, and sensitivity in all interactions. In addition, I am highly proficient in Canva, with experience designing visually engaging awareness content and academic presentations. I bring strong crisis awareness, effective management skills, and the ability to remain calm, organized, and solution-focused in challenging situations. I am eager to gain further experience through internships, research projects, and mental health initiatives where I can contribute meaningfully while continuing to grow professionally. Let’s connect!
