NWRHA Hosts Health Fair On Brian Lara Promenade

World Mental Health Month is observed throughout October, featuring World Mental Health Day on October 10.

Speaking to TTT News, at the North West Regional Health Authority’s recent health fair, on the Brian Lara Promenade, Psychiatrist, Dr. Cherish Baptiste, noted the importance of access to mental healthcare for all.

“October the 10th is world mental health day, it is recognised globally, and having good mental Health is a human right you’re entitled to have good mental health, so it’s not something for a certain type of person it is for you it’s for the person looking at this right now, so the NWRHA has embraced healthy body, healthy mind, healthy communities, because a community is really just a collection of people, and your body can’t function without your mind and your mind can’t function without your body, it’s very much a reciprocal relationship and we are here today to encourage that.”
