On 22 January 2026, Aparajito 24 Foundation organized “Mental Health Workshop – 3” at Madhobi Lounge, Banani DOHS, Dhaka. 11 fighters injured in the July uprising participated in this session. Building upon our previous group initiatives, this workshop marked our very first structured, one-on-one individual psychiatric counseling session, designed to address deeply personal psychological concerns.
While group sessions offer shared comfort, certain traumatic experiences require private, individualized attention. To ensure a safe and confidential environment, this intensive 6-hour session (2:00 PM – 8:00 PM) was conducted by Dr. Abdullah Hasan, a renowned Psychiatrist from NYU Langone.
