Moving forward in the 21st century, scientists in every part of the world are investigating mental health from the viewpoints of Wellness. How we face to the realistic happenings on the part of Well-beings? Using scientific psychology and connecting it with diversified interdisciplinary (neuroscientific, sociological, educational, environmental etc.) knowledge base and view, we will get any cue for it.

Our interest group does not request any strict obligation to the individual members to think /study but we want you to keep up with the discipline that the study is to have scientific base leading to action for better for the Wellness of the individuals and Groups. We welcome you for our friendly and productive discussion and collaborative work for the project.
