PANCAP Calls for Mental Health Action | Jamaica News

PANCAP is sounding the alarm on a silent crisis across the Caribbean—suicide and mental health—calling for urgent, community-wide action as World Suicide Prevention Day passed with the theme “Changing the Narrative on Suicide.” With alarming suicide rates in Guyana, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago, the region’s leaders are urging families, schools, workplaces, and governments to join forces. But the fight isn’t just about suicide prevention—it’s also about dismantling HIV-related stigma that continues to drive isolation, discrimination, and poor mental health. Even with modern treatments, stigma keeps people from seeking care, worsening their well-being. PANCAP insists compassion and inclusion are vital: shifting from fear to facts, stigma to understanding, and isolation to connection—to empower communities to protect lives through knowledge, support, and solidarity.
