The Ministry of Health’s Mental Health Unit continues to expand its training initiatives to strengthen mental health awareness, suicide prevention and early intervention, with hundreds of persons already trained under the Gatekeepers Programme.

The initiative has been rolled out in ministries, government agencies, schools, community organisations and private groups as part of a coordinated national effort to improve mental health literacy and community-based support systems.

To date, between 150 and 175 persons have benefited from targeted training, with ongoing sessions expected to increase coverage across all 10 administrative regions.
