The Center for Child and Adolescent Psychological Services - Trinidad and Tobago (CCAPS-TT) opened its doors in February 2016, and we have been honored to connect with families across Trinidad and Tobago and the United States of America. CCAPS-TT has provided psychoeducational evaluations, psychotherapy, and workshops to our families, schools, and communities. ⠀
⠀
Pairing with Dr. Narad Mathura, we formulated the WICAN Clinic - designed to assess / diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorder and other related neurodevelopmental conditions. CCAPS-TT has also worked extensively with Ms. Ahhalia Ramdass, Clinical Psychologist to provide further coverage across Trinidad. ⠀
⠀
It is heartwarming on a personal level to see families and schools respond so openly to mental health intervention. There is such depth for the scope of mental health in Trinidad and Tobago. ⠀
⠀
CCAPS-TT will be closing it’s doors, as of January 8, 2020 until further notice. The start of a new decade brings change and growth for us all. ⠀
⠀
Should you wish to connect with mental health services / resources, you are welcome to call 225-2227, no later than January 10, 2020. To our clients, should you have any questions, please call 645-2423, and all calls will be directed to Dr. T. ⠀
⠀
will continue to bring educational content to our community, and the page will remain open for resources, and contact information. ⠀
⠀
CCAPS-TT thanks the online community for their support and encouragement over the last 4 years. ⠀
⠀
Wishing you all the best for 2020.
⠀
Hugs, Dr. T
