About The Portal
Our goal is to strengthen the availability and proficiency of mental health resources and training within Guyana, responding to the urgent need to address the nation's concerning suicide rates. At the heart of our initiative lies a comprehensive suicide prevention training program tailored for gatekeepers, equipping them with crucial insights into suicidal behavior and mental health disorders. Through immersive exercises and risk assessment sessions embedded with real-life narratives, our platform strives to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively intervene and support those in crisis.
