Message From HOD

The Department of Mental Health Nursing provides excellent service in psychiatric nursing education, practice, and research, including comprehensive and holistic nursing care services aiming at preventive, promotive, curative, and rehabilitative components of neuropsychiatric care in the hospital and the community.
Mental Health Nursing is a rewarding and sometimes challenging profession requiring technical expertise, deep compassion, and empathy. Our Department focuses on providing students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills they need to support individuals through mental health challenges. The Mental Health Nursing curriculum is well designed to cater to the needs of all individuals, including children, adults, the elderly, and individuals requiring special mental health care. We emphasize a holistic approach to care, helping students develop strong communication skills, emotional resilience, and the ability to work within multidisciplinary teams.
The Department has qualified and adequate faculty who actively teach diploma, undergraduate, and postgraduate students, mentor them in patient care and research, and conduct a variety of educational initiatives. Students gain valuable clinical experience at the Psychiatric Unit of the Parent Hospital, Era's Lucknow Medical College & Hospital, the Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centre, and Noor Manzil Psychiatric Hospital in Lucknow. Furthermore, the Department organizes mental health awareness programs in schools and across urban and rural areas in Lucknow. A unique feature of the Department of Mental Health Nursing is the interprofessional approach to promoting mental health amongst all University students and faculty by organizing mental health programs in collaboration with the Departments of Happiness and Clinical Psychology.
We are excited to welcome passionate and dedicated individuals to our program.
