On our Instagram and Facebook pages during the month of October we engaged our social media family in a discussion about mental health and stigma in the Caribbean and brainstormed together about the things we would like to see change regarding mental health.
Comments from our social media followers
...teach children and youth about mental health, emotional intelligence, and coping skills early on, reduce stigma and encourage help seeking behavior later in life. have regular community workshops...train locals as mental health ambassadors or per counselors who can identify signs of mental health distress in their communities and refer people to professionals~_darkie.23
Postpartum mental health care for mothers after giving birth~island_queen97
The stigma that we have when it comes to mental health or those with developmental and intellectual disabilities! Because of this, a lot of individuals do not want to reach out for help or look into the not so available resources that we may offer because of shame!~bel_liina
Create specialist mother and baby mental health services, and educate the upcoming generations about mental health at an early age preventing room for stigma. ~_iiam._liyah._
