📋 About Moner Bondhu
Moner Bondhu(孟加拉语:মনের বন্ধু,意为“心灵之友”)是孟加拉国规模最大、领先的心理健康与福祉平台,由塔维达·希罗帕(首席执行官)创立。Moner Bondhu提供在线和面对面的心理健康咨询、福祉工具及自我护理资源,以应对孟加拉国的心理健康危机——这个拥有1.8亿人口的国家,心理健康服务历来饱受歧视且难以获取。
🚀 创立故事
塔维达·希罗帕凭借在社会领域13年的经验创立了Moner Bondhu。她是Acumen奖学金获得者,也是美国国务院的校友。希罗帕意识到孟加拉国面临着巨大的心理健康挑战——数百万人饱受抑郁、焦虑和压力的折磨,但对大多数人来说,专业帮助要么无法获得,要么饱受歧视,要么负担不起。
Moner Bondhu致力于缩小这一差距,通过24/7热线、专业训练的咨询师、移动应用和数字内容,为人们提供便捷、专业且保密的心理健康支持。2023年,希罗帕入选《Vogue Business 100创新者》“可持续发展思想领袖”榜单——这是一项享有盛誉的国际认可。
