Dr Nisha Khanna said: "A mentally healthy person is better able to deal with real-life situations in a much more calm and controlled way. In the prevailing scenario, people are witnessing a sudden increase in t🐽heir stress levels, therefore I personally feel that such platforms will help us to initiate the conversation on mental health and allow us to help many around us. Besides, gaming is also a great way to facilitate people to manage their mental state.ಞ It fulfils a person's need of competence, autonomy and relatedness thereby instilling a sense of confidence and positivity."
Abhishek Goindi commented: "I believe in mind over matter! This initiative by PokerBaazi and Poker Boot Camp India is aimed at helping and guiding poker𝕴 players across the country to deal with mental challenges that are never addressed but are a huge hindrance to one's growth in this beautiful mind sport."

In the wake of the current series of events, we really wanted to emphasize upon the relevance and application of mental strength in our daily lives. With this session being conducted by professionals, we are confident that we will be able to impart some understanding to the people around and assist them to have a better control over their mind while playing poker or beyond the game."
