Raising The Hope Community Services is a mission driven organization dedicated to providing mental health and wellbeing services started with Bangladeshi communities and other ethno-racial groups through individualized sessions, peer-support groups, volunteer development, open dialogue, and advocacy. Instilled in the values of respect, partnership and collaboration, excellence, and optimization of resources, we strive to destigmatize the topic of mental health by fostering safe and consensual spaces, delivering research-informed programs, and empowering individuals and families to seek support without cultural judgement.​

Raising The Hope Community Services believes in a society where all individuals have equal access to the healthcare system. We thrive to raise hope in people living with mental health, addiction, isolation, and inadequate housing towards their recovery.

Since inception in March 2022, the organization has been actively engaged in delivering mental health awareness and advocacy program. Our core activities involve community conversation circles, one-to-one support sessions, and broader outreach through media advocacy. Our community conversation circles have shown to have high impact in the local community and have created safe spaces for dialogue among youth and adults, covering topics such as stress, identity, parenting, trauma, stigma, and anxiety.
