A Mental Health Workshop related to a National Health Plan and Mental Health Plan of Action 2014-2018 is scheduled for June 23 at the Sonesta Great Bay Resort & Casino from 8.00am to 4.00pm.
The Ministry of Public Health, Social Development and Labour agency the Collective Prevention Services, is hosting the workshop.
Since June 2012 the initial first step was taken to develop a comprehensive integration process of leading to a National Health Plan and Mental Health Plan of Action 2014-2018. This is being done through various stakeholder consultations.
As part of Minister of Public Health, Social Development and Labour Hon. Cornelius de Weever’s “Get Checked” campaign which promotes good health for all ages, mental well-being is essential in order for a person to realize their potential, cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively and contribute towards the development of their community.
The invited participants are selected government stakeholders, non-governmental organizations and general practitioners.
Valuable information has been collected that will lead to the first draft of the strategic plan. The plan and methodology report will be presented at the June 23 workshop to all stakeholders.
Stakeholders who have been involved in the consultation process will review both documents and activities geared towards the vision/mission statement along with a careful review of the Plan of Action.
The Plan of Action will assist stakeholders by giving them insight into the timeframe in accomplishing the goals set out and identifying responsible entities.
