Hearth Summit Bangladesh 2025 — Dhaka Edition took place on 22 February 2025. Held at BRAC University, Dhaka, for students, teachers and parents under the theme “Connecting Generations for Wellbeing & Growth”, with 1000+ participants.
Hearth Summit 2025 Overview
Hearth Summit Bangladesh 2025 became one of the country’s most meaningful convenings on mental health and wellbeing — unfolding across two powerful chapters: Dhaka and Cox’s Bazar.
What began as a response to national trauma grew into a brave, intergenerational movement. The Summit brought together thousands of students, educators, changemakers, humanitarian leaders, and mental health professionals — all united by one purpose:
Healing together. Growing together. Building a resilient Bangladesh, one conversation at a time.
Why Hearth Summit Bangladesh 2025?
In the wake of the July–August 2024 mass uprising, thousands of Bangladeshis—especially youth, educators, and parents—faced anxiety, trauma, and emotional distress. At the same time, humanitarian workers in Cox’s Bazar have been operating under chronic strain due to the prolonged Rohingya crisis, often without adequate mental health support.
Hearth Summit 2025 was launched as a response to these urgent needs, creating safe spaces for healing, dialogue, and systemic change.
