Pré-test was conducted through self-developed questionnaire. After that all participants received the Workplace Mental wellness Program. Followed by Post assessment was done. All data were analysed using appropriate statistical methods. Results: The average pre-test score increased from 5.53 ± 3.40 to 13.03 ± 2.84 after the intervention. The study results demonstrated the increased knowledge and perception scores (paired t test = 11.95 at P level less than 0.05).
