The Mental Health Programme is an annual, need-based initiative organized for novices at the Ehipassiko Buddhist Foundation (EBF). This program is conducted in coordination with psychosocial counselors to address the emotional, psychological, and mental well-being of the participants.

The programme includes counseling sessions, group discussions, stress management techniques, mindfulness practices, and awareness activities aimed at helping novices recognize and manage mental health challenges. By providing a supportive environment, it encourages open dialogue about mental health, reduces stigma, and equips novices with practical tools for emotional resilience.

The initiative plays a vital role in strengthening the overall well-being of young monastics, ensuring that they can maintain mental balance, focus on spiritual practices, and serve the community with a healthy mind and heart.
