Building a Hybrid Model for Improving Mental Health and Preventing Suicide in Bangladesh

Bangladesh suicides among married adolescent girls are 22 times higher than those never married, 4 to 6 times higher for younger versus older women. This occurs in a context of inadequate services and limited understanding of mental health. Three faith-based mental health initiatives in rural Bangladesh will be explored: a purpose-built ‘friendship’ model assists 11,000 teenagers targeting beliefs, expectations and practices via 1,000 lay persons; a second offers trauma healing counseling (adapted for use in a mixed religious context) in an integrated model through ‘People’s Institutions’ (PIs in over 400 community groups); the third facility-based model trained 50 providers in reproductive-health oriented counseling corners in government health facilities serving 75,000 women.
