When someone is struggling with alcohol, substances, or the quiet weight of anxiety, finding the right support nearby makes all the difference. At Rouse Foundation, we bring confidential, evidence-based counseling and de-addiction support to families in Birati, South Dum Dum, and North Dum Dum. Our goal: to make care approachable, affordable, and stigma-free.
Services at a glance
At Rouse Foundation, people come to us for a range of reasons, and we try to meet them where they are. Some need one-on-one counseling for substance use or mental health struggles; others bring a partner or family member to work through strained relationships together. We also run youth sessions that touch on peer pressure, phone habits, and lifestyle balance—topics that often go unspoken at home. For those looking to avoid relapse, we map out clear follow-up plans that fit into real schedules. And because healing isn’t just individual, we regularly host workshops in schools, clubs, and housing societies to build awareness across the community.
How we help
Our approach is simple. We begin with one conversation—no pressure, no endless forms—just a safe space to talk through what’s going on. From there, we set small, practical goals: a step for the week or a change in routine that feels doable. Regular follow-ups keep things steady, whether in person or online, and your privacy always comes first. Families often say what sets us apart is the mix of consistency and respect—we don’t rush, and we don’t judge.
Our reach in your neighborhood
Birati
In Birati, many of the people we meet are working parents balancing long commutes with family responsibilities. To make life easier, we keep evening slots open and offer weekend appointments near Birati Station Road, so clients don’t have to sacrifice work hours.
South Dum Dum
Life in South Dum Dum is busy and fast, with residents commuting to central Kolkata daily. We design short, targeted therapy plans for people with limited time, focused counseling sessions that fit into tight schedules. Parents in this area often contact us for youth programs and internet overuse guidance.
North Dum Dum
In North Dum Dum, the people who walk through our doors are a real mix—working professionals, retirees with time on their hands, and students trying to find balance. We’ve learned that weekends and early mornings suit many here, so we reserve slots for those times. Relapse prevention groups have become a steady anchor for some, while stress management workshops draw in others who simply want healthier ways to cope with daily pressures. Beyond individual sessions, we also spend time with housing societies in the area, hosting awareness talks that spark honest conversations within the community itself.

Community impact
In Dum Dum and nearby areas, our team doesn’t just work in private sessions—we step out into the community. Every month, we run awareness talks in schools and local clubs, helping students and families spot early signs of stress or substance use. We also keep aside small group sessions where caregivers and young people can sit together and share experiences. To make care seamless, we stay in touch with nearby doctors and rehabilitation centers, so families don’t feel they’re navigating the system alone.
Fees & access
We also announce a few free slots each month, simple, first-come-first-served appointments that anyone in the community can use when times are especially tough.
