Esho Nije kori is Bangladesh based initiative which is committed to cater to the needs of those living with mental illness and advocating the overall mental health for all. Esho Nije Kori- the name translates to ‘Let’s do it ourselves’- came into presence to battle the subtle stigmas in our community against mental wellness collectively. This is a platform where individuals, families, business, communities, organizations can easily open-up and bring fundamental shift in attitude and direction in life- eventually stepping towards enlightenment. Esho Nije Kori (ENK) was founded in 2016, with the slogan "Prevention is better than Cure" in Dhaka with an aim to develop the mental wellbeing of young professionals and youth in general. By awakening the moral values of the society, ENK aspires to create a positive change in the society. ENK believes, everyone can make a big difference in their day-to-day life by bringing a little change in their intellectual, emotional and behavior. Hence, the name of the initiative stands for its goal – Let’s do it ourselves. Studies show that almost 75-90% of the people suffer from psychosomatic disorders or psychosomatic problems. Counselling and training services regarding the topic are visibly inadequate in our community. Realizing the need for professional mental health services, ENK came up with diverse training modules and mental health services. ENK professionals guide and motivate individuals on diverse topics such as Depression, Anxiety, Anger Management, Stress Disorder, PTSD, OCD, Relationship Issues, Schizophrenia and more. We understand the stress at workplaces which is why we also have corporate services in our diversified portfolio- employee assistance programs, mindfulness leadership trainings are few from the list. ENK is steadfast to boost awareness regarding mental health. Gradually general people are becoming aware of the graveness of the issue and that is the ray of hope which inspires us to keep going forward.
