AB  - BACKGROUND: There is little published in the field of mental health services for 
      traumatized people in Bangladesh. OBJECTIVE: To identify the existence of any 
      services for people with psychological trauma and to describe how they work. 
      METHOD: A telephone survey using a semi-structured interview was carried out in 
      Summer 2008. Eight organisations were contacted, including two government 
      agencies, two universities and four non-governmental agencies (NGOs). RESULTS: 
      The survey identified eight services, seven of which were based in Dhaka. Three 
      of the respondents provided services for children. Mental health interventions 
      included selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs), cognitive behavioral 
      therapy (CBT), counselling, together with medical, educational, legal and 
      occupational support. CONCLUSIONS: There are services for traumatized people in 
      Dhaka, but most of the rural population has limited access to them. Respondents 
      acknowledged their training and development needs and the requirement to 
      communicate more with each other. Future research is needed to address the 
      efficacy of these services as well as the unmet necessities of the majority of 
      the rural population of Bangladesh.
