CPSS Program Brings Social Services Home | Guyana News

The government just rolled out a game-changing training program in Mahdia called the Certificate in Paraprofessional Social Services, designed to bring vital social work education straight to remote communities. This locally-based initiative, backed by the Human Services Ministry, Guyana’s professional social workers, and the University of Guyana, tackles a long-standing gap in access to trained social service professionals in Regions One, Seven, Eight, and Nine. By training locals who already know their communities’ needs, the program builds culturally competent, career-ready workers to support families, protect children, address mental health, and combat domestic violence. Graduates will join key agencies like the Childcare and Protection Agency, boosting local employment and strengthening social safety nets. It’s not just about filling roles—it’s about building a resilient, inclusive future for all Guyanese, one community at a time.
