Turn to Positive

Admin Team

Location: Bangladesh

Turn To Positive is a Youth Led Organization founded on 1st June 2019. Currently it is focusing on 4 sectors:

  1. Mental Health

  2. Gender Equity

  3. Environment convention

  4. Partnership for Goals.

The founder of Turn To Positive faced a lot of bully and depression during his school time. During his University time he wanted to change himself and his surroundings, so he formed “Turn To Positive” to make people aware about mental health issues.

Turn To Positive wants every student in education institutions to stand against bullying and to be more aware about mental health. Turn To Positive members also want every person to have mental health support. With the help of technology people can be more aware of mental health.

Turn To Positive wants, with the help of AI and VR, to give people access to basic Cognitive Behavior Therapy and basic counseling therapy .

The first challenge I face in this goal is to form a team around all the divisions of Bangladesh and globally. Then, finding funds. I spend my own pocket money to run this project as finding sponsors and funding is a challenge.

Support Needed

Currently, we are focusing two projects:

  1. We want to develop an app-based service for a each particular country where people will get information about mental health, service centers and general information.

  2. With the help of AI and VR people will get basic cognitive and counseling therapy. With holographs, people with intellectual disabilities will get virtual counseling support through games to increase mental stability and mind peace.

Now, we lack of app developers who are experts at AI. We talk with students who work with augmented reality and virtual reality but due to a lack of funding we are not able to make any kind of content. We have to transform all the content so it will be usable in VR.

Primarily, I made basic app with all mental health service centers and tentative game for mental peace and mental stability, but we need app developers for bigger market value and bigger reach. We need 6000$ full budget to make full service ,VR , AI and holographic system app based service and also for marketing. We plan to get this grant from technological company in Bangladesh
