[Audio] Our group has identified increasing awareness about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as our challenge. It is a serious mental disorder that can affect people after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, such as a natural disaster, a car accident, or a personal attack. It is a public health issue with a far-reaching impact, yet unfortunately is not as widely understood as it should be. With this in mind, our goal is to create a social innovation project that can raise public understanding and support for PTSD sufferers worldwide..

[Audio] KLE Technological University Hubballi's team has a unique opportunity to tackle a social challenge and develop a viable solution. To begin, it is important to answer crucial questions about the issue, such as why it is important to address, who it affects, and benefits versus detriments of resolving the problem. There is also a need to consider the potential implications if the problem is not addressed. The team has a short timeframe of 5-6 months to craft a solution that can make a real, sustainable difference in the lives of those suffering from PTSD..

[Audio] Our team of Mohammed Azharuddin Sheikh, Arvind Bishnoi, Ganesh Pawar, Kannika Kulkarni and Deepika Khade, under the guidance of Dr. Preeti Patil, has identified the relevant stakeholders in a Design Thinking Course Project at KLE Technological University Hubballi to make an impact on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

[Audio] Our five students at KLE Technological University are employing the Design Thinking process to create a social innovation project for the 2022-2023 Even Semester.

To identify the underlying issue, our team is involving the community and coming up with unique solutions..

[Audio] This project is all about tackling post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among the age group 16-25. PTSD can be a difficult and heartbreaking condition to grapple with, and in India, it is often not taken as seriously as it should be due to a lack of awareness. This project looks to reduce this stigma and spread awareness about the disorder, with the aim of helping sufferers to recognize it and seek the right interventions as soon as possible, in order to prevent secondary trauma. With this in mind, the team at KLE Technological University, Hubballi are undertaking a project examining Design Thinking for Social Innovation to tackle this very issue. Under the guidance of Dr. Preeti Patil, the team of Mohammed Azharuddin Sheikh, Arvind Bishnoi, Ganesh Pawar, Kannika Kulkarni, and Deepika Khade, are tackling this important problem in the 2022-2023 even semester..

[Audio] The Project team is taking a compassionate approach to help those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This team is working to provide a viable solution to the lack of resources for therapy and professional help which is often too expensive for those in need. They are exploring the possibility of creating an empathy map with suggestions for talking openly to people, seeking professional help, practicing self care, learning grounding techniques and educating themselves about PTSD. By empathizing with individuals and understanding their struggles, this approach could make a real difference to those dealing with trauma. Let us be part of this effort to give a much needed helping hand to those in need..
