In today’s rapidly changing world, mental health is no longer a personal issue—it is a collective responsibility. At SHADOW, we have long worked to address humanitarian needs across communities in Bangladesh. But in early 2024, we recognized a deeper crisis that demanded urgent attention: the silent suffering of individuals battling emotional distress, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts without access to help or understanding.
This realization gave birth to Talk Hope, an initiative under SHADOW, launched on 29th February 2024, with a singular mission—to build a free, stigma-free, and youth-driven platform for suicide prevention and emotional support in Bangladesh.
Talk Hope is now the country’s first and only 24/7, fully free mental health support platform led by trained volunteers and supported by professional psychologists. Through this initiative, we aim to ensure that every individual facing emotional challenges has someone to talk to—confidentially, compassionately, and without judgment.
Under SHADOW’s broader vision of social development, we continue to work at the grassroots level, promoting education, volunteerism, and sustainable peace. Together with our partners—including professional psychologists and various mental health organizations—we are building awareness, training youth, forming school-based Mental Health Clubs, and most importantly, saving lives.
We believe that lasting change begins with listening.
It grows through empathy.
And it leads to a society where no one feels invisible in their pain.
Talk Hope is more than a platform—it is a movement. A bridge between isolation and healing. A symbol of what happens when communities come together to care, to support, and to lead with hope.
Thank you for believing in this vision.
Sincerely,
Md Saddam Hossain Roni
