A pervasive taboo shrouds Mental Health in Bangladesh, where stigma runs so deep that afflicted individuals and their families endure profound social isolation. This plight is particularly dire for families from lower socio-economic backgrounds, who often associate mental illness with the supernatural, further ostracizing them. With very limited access to mental health care, families resort to abandoning them on the streets or at the only public mental health hospital in the country. Proshanti offers these homeless individuals with mental illnesses the opportunity to live in shared homes in the community, and through supportive care – mental & physical healthcare, functional skills, and livelihood training – it empowers their reintegration into society with dignity.
