Posted • As Government prepares to roll out the new Mental Health Act, which places special emphasis on community outreach, a strong recommendation is being made for employers at all levels to take mental wellness seriously.

Speaking to Starcom Network News, Deputy Chairman of the Mental Health Commission, Dr. Joy Sue, described the new legislation as groundbreaking. However, she urged that support must come from all sectors to ensure the Act achieves its full benefit for Barbadians.

Happy Father’s Day

Today, we honor and celebrate the fathers among us — the ones who serve, lead, nurture, and care both at home and within our hospital family.

Your strength is seen not just in what you do, but in the compassion you show, the quiet sacrifices you make, and the steady presence you offer each day. Whether you’re offering a listening ear, providing support to a patient, or being a role model to your children, your impact is immeasurable.

Thank you for standing tall through challenges, for showing kindness in moments of chaos, and for reminding us that fatherhood — like mental health care — is built on love, patience, and unwavering dedication.

Wishing you a Father’s Day filled with the recognition and gratitude you deserve. Your work and your presence matter deeply.

— With appreciation,
From the meanagement team at the Psychiatric Hospital

⚙️Men report higher burnout rates in high-demand roles.
Being everything for everyone can leave nothing for you.
Rest isn’t weakness—it’s repair.

07/06/2025

1 in 4 men feel they have no one to confide in.

“Man up” culture teaches boys that emotions = weakness.

Men are less likely than women to access psychological therapies.

Let’s rewrite the script: “Man up” should mean “Speak up.” You don’t have to go it alone. There’s strength in connection. Real strength is owning your healing journey.

Normalize emotional expression and help-seeking

🔊 Stat: 40% of men won’t talk about mental health, even when struggling.

🧠 Silence doesn’t mean strength—it often means suffering.

It’s okay to:
Talk.
Vent.
Cry.
Heal.

Posted • The Psychiatric Hospital advises all visitors that mask-wearing is now mandatory in all wards and clinical areas, effective immediately.

This decision follows a rise in respiratory illnesses across Barbados, including Influenza A (H1N1), common cold viruses, seasonal flu A (H3N2), and isolated COVID-19 cases.

To protect patients and staff, visitors must wear a face mask while in clinical spaces. The public is also encouraged to practise hand hygiene, respiratory etiquette, and consider the seasonal flu vaccine, especially those with chronic conditions.

Management of the hospital thanks members of the public for their cooperation in helping to maintain a safe environment for all.
