Big Table Tackles Suicide, Addiction and Resource Mobilization

We extend our appreciation to our community members for attending The Big Table with BCCO.

Some of the issues we discussed and got an insight on were as follows:-

-Rise of Suicide rate in the community due to the lack of support system, isolation, domestic violence, mental health illnesses etc.

– Resources mobilization/ Identification. Organizations not being able to efficiently delegate their support and services to the needy families. Outreach efforts not being recognized. Cultural, Personal or Social barriers that discourages victims from seeking help.

– Problems of addiction (digital & substance abuse) among teenagers causing high-school drop out rates to rise among Bhutanese Community students.

These issues will be further discussed with the stakeholders in an effort to focus and optimize the resources towards individuals and families who truly need help.
