Raising Awareness on World Suicide Prevention Day
Suicide is an issue that can affect anyone despite of their status. In observance of World Suicide Prevention Day, the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Nutrition recognised the need to bring greater awareness to prevent suicide and also to promote mental well-being of individuals.
In an interview with the Director of Mental Health Services Dr. Naomi Jn Baptiste focus was placed on educating persons on the mental health services available at the primary health care facilities and the community. Also, the public was reminded of their responsibility in suicide prevention and the need to create supportive environments for people who may need help.
