CABINET: The Cabinet invited the Minister of Social Transformation to its meeting in order to examine the nation’s policy on handling persons suffering with mental health challenges.
The Sir Lester Bird Medical Center is not designed to treat mental patients.
The Clarevue Mental Hospital is the place where patients suffering mental health issues are to be treated, since a psychiatrist is assigned to that hospital; however, many patients who are in a state of readiness to return to their homes have been abandoned by family members.
The Minister also reported that Alzheimer’s is affecting a larger population of the nation’s elderly citizens than ever before.
Daycare Centers for the elderly are likely to become necessary throughout Antigua and Barbuda.
The Cabinet was reminded that the CARE Project exists to provide living quarters to children with extreme disabilities.
The youthful students attending the Adele School are differently abled; several are autistic and many can learn to be productive.
It was reported that one of the highest mathematical grades achieved among all students in a particular age group was an autistic student who mastered mathematics.
The Minister also reported that many of our young people are performing really well in NGOs that are training youthful leaders for the future.
