The regional hearth summit bangladesh
Join humanitarian leaders, and frontliners this February at Cox’s Bazar for Hearth Summit Bangladesh – a transformative experience focused on individual mental health and workplace wellbeing.
Cultivating Hope in Crisis: Fostering Changemakers' Wellbeing
In the wake of the Rohingya refugee crisis, Cox’s Bazar stands as a beacon of resilience, highlighting the urgent need for mental health support among those at the forefront of change in the humanitarian sector. Amidst the challenges of high-pressure, under-resourced environments, aid workers and leaders often neglect their own wellbeing, leading to burnout and mental health issues. The HEARTH Summit offers a lifeline, creating a nurturing space for social changemakers to enhance their mental health through inspiring talks, therapeutic workshops, and cultural engagements. This summit empowers participants to build sustainable wellbeing practices, fostering a culture of resilience not only for themselves but also for the communities they serve. Join us at the HEARTH Summit Bangladesh in Cox’s Bazar in February 2025, where hope meets action to cultivate wellbeing amidst crisis.
