🇧🇩 Tawhida Shiropa is a social entrepreneur from Bangladesh providing access to mental health services for all with Moner Bondhu, and former journalist with The Daily Prothom Alo, the largest circulated newspaper in Bangladesh.
😇 She shares her journey discovering the world of mental health as her mother struggled with depression, and how she started Moner Bondhu to break the taboo around mental health and provide relevant support services to as many people as possible.
