In this city of ours, mental illness is on the rise. Due to social taboos and a lack of knowledge regarding proper medical care facilities, most sufferers do not avail treatment.

Kaan Pete Roi, the first emotional support and suicide prevention helpline in Bangladesh, announces that it will extend its operating hours and keep the helpline open with support from SAJIDA Foundation.

The non-profit organisation Kaan Pete Roi emerged four years ago as emotional support and suicide prevention helpline and is already helping thousands in distress.
