Family & Relationship Wellbeing
Urban Pakistan is changing faster than its support systems. Couples are under more financial, social, and generational pressure than ever. Families are struggling to communicate across age gaps, digital divides, and changing expectations. Aasra provides the space to talk — and the professional help to move forward.
- Why This Matters in Pakistan Right Now
Rising Urban Divorce Rate
Pakistan's urban divorce rate has increased sharply over the last decade, yet couples therapy barely exists as a structured professional service in most Pakistani cities.
Digital Age Parenting Crisis
Pakistani parents are raising the first generation of children with smartphones — with no structured guidance on boundaries, screen time, online risk, and digital emotional health.
Pre-Marital Counselling Gap
Globally, pre-marital counselling reduces divorce risk by up to 30%. In Pakistan, it barely exists as a concept — despite the country having one of the highest marriage rates in the world.

- Aasra × Qissa Partnership
Where connection meets professional support
Qissa Café is Pakistan’s first family and couples discovery experience — a beautifully designed space where families reconnect through facilitated card games and guided conversations. Every Qissa session is paired with an Aasra referral pathway. The café creates the spark. Aasra provides the professional support when it’s needed. Two brands. One purpose.
