Oroddho Health celebrates it's 2nd anniversary today !
We began our journey as a Facebook page that wanted to raise mental health awareness and motivate those going through mental health issues. Today, we stand in front of you as the country's leading peer-support platform and a pioneer in the mental health sector of Bangladesh.
With more than 8,500 followers on social media, over 700 clients around the world and with professional referral centres around the country, it is safe to say that we have developed into something bigger than we ever envisioned.
The journey was not a smooth one. It is never easy for a group of youngsters to start something new, let alone work with something as stigmatized as mental illness. We made mistakes along the way and got doors closed on our faces numerous times.
But we learnt from our mistakes, getting rave reviews and getting national recognition through newspapers (like Prothom Alo & Daily Star) and social media.
We still have a long way to go. To every single person who have supported us through this journey, we would like to say thank you.
The number of clients that we get everyday is overwhelming. In rare instances, we may have failed to give our best efforts to some people. We apologize for that, and we thank you for your patience and your support.
We dream of a world where mental illness is no longer a taboo. Every single step we take is an effort to normalize mental health. And we hope to find you by our side as we move forward.
~ Awsaf Karim Founder and President Oroddho Health
