Integrated Health Outreach Inc. (IHO) hosts the \u201cAdvancing Women\u2019s Mental Health\u201d Programme in March.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This programme includes train-the-trainer workshops for mental health peer-supporters and women\u2019s mental health advocates.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Through the workshops, women will learn easy and adaptable coping techniques that they can teach their peers. These are among several virtual workshops to be held throughout March.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The sessions seek to address mental health gender gaps by strengthening women\u2019s capacity through the development of knowledge products, community outreach, education, de-stigmatisation, and capacity building.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The project is expected to better assist women in coping with issues of mental health exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue of mental health must always be at the forefront in our push for a better society,\u201d says Nicola Bird, PhD, Executive Director of IHO. Further, Dr. Bird notes, \u201cMental health challenges are on the rise due to the stresses of the COVID-19 pandemic.\u00a0 Now more than ever, it is essential to equip practitioners with the relevant knowledge to assist their communities.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

To strengthen women\u2019s mental health education, the programme will provide coping tools designed for Caribbean women that can live beyond the project\u2019s lifetime for long-term benefit.<\/p>\n

IHO will accomplish this through workshops for women, surveys on women\u2019s mental health, social media promotions, videos to support training and dissemination of knowledge products.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The programme, which ends March 31, 2021, is funded by the Kaleidoscope Trust\u2019s Commonwealth Equality Project (CEP) in collaboration with the Eastern Caribbean Alliance for Diversity and Equality (ECADE).<\/p>
