ACLAB Launches Integrated Mental Health Support and Awareness Program Project to Support the Mental Health and Psychosocial Well-being of Rohingya Children, Adolescents, and Youth at Rohingya Refugee Camps, Cox’s Bazar. With support of philanthropy initiative from the Global Development Consortium (GDC), ACLAB is implementing the project titled “Integrated Mental Health Support and Awareness Program (IMHSAP)” for Rohingya Children, Adolescents, and Youth” across 11 refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar. Key activities including capacity building and training for local NGOs, CSOs, and volunteers; outreach through Mobile MHPSS Units and a dedicated hotline (+88 01766 406806); awareness campaigns via Radio Naf; and creative, recreational, and therapeutic activities such as art, storytelling, and music.
The project also establishes Peer Support Groups, child and adolescent mental health programs, family and community workshops, and robust monitoring and evaluation systems. Beneficiaries include over 3,50,000+ individuals across camps including Kutupalong, Nayapara, Camp-7, Camp-8W, Camp-15, Camp-19, Camp-21, Camp-22, Camp-24 (Leda) and Camp-25. On 25 February 2026, ACLAB organized an awareness orientation session in Cox’s Bazar with local CSO, NGO leaders and project staff. The event aimed to enhance their understanding of IMHSA needs, share field experiences, and foster a more empathetic service approach, ultimately strengthening mental health support for refugees and frontline workers alike.
