Sabbir's path to healing - a structured recovery program in Dhaka

After military deployment, Sabbir has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $400.

Dhaka
After military deployment, Sabbir has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Dhaka Counselling Collective cost $10 each. Sabbir has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Sabbir could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Sabbir, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment. The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record. Where the $400 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $350 • Psychiatric assessment: $40 • Workbook and resources: $10 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
