A&B SPEARHEADS MAJOR MENTAL HEALTH PUSH AT OAS

Antigua and Barbuda is pressing the Organization of American States to turn its mental health commitments into services people can use.

The twin-island state led the OAS’ observance of the second Inter-American Mental Health Week, during a meeting of the Permanent Council on Wednesday.

Health Minister Hon. Michael Joseph told the meeting in a recorded message, “No one should be left to navigate a crisis alone.”
