Beyond the Papers Event

A powerful, high-energy awareness session that went beyond textbooks and touched the real lives of students. Beyond the Papers tackled some of the most important — and least talked about — topics in student mental health: addiction, behavioural cycles, and relationship red flags.

What Happened

Led by Dr. Navya Mounika, the session created an open and honest space where students could engage with these topics without fear of judgment. The conversation was real, the questions were raw, and the response from students was overwhelming.

Key Topics Covered

Understanding addiction — how it starts and why it happens
Recognising behavioural cycles and unhealthy patterns
Identifying relationship red flags — romantic, friendship, and family
Breaking stigma around asking for help
Practical steps students can take immediately

Impact

155+ students participated — making it one of InnerWhispers' largest single-session events to date. The room was full, the conversations were honest, and the feedback was clear: students had been waiting for exactly this kind of conversation.

Student Reflection

"I never thought I'd talk about this stuff in college. But this session made it feel completely normal — and safe." — Student participant, Vaagdevi College
