đź’š LIVED EXPERIENCES HEARD: Real Voices, Real Change! đź’š

✨ Every voice matters. Every story has power. Every lived experience deserves to be heard.

The Barbados Association of Psychiatrists (BAP) proudly invites you to the 4th Annual Ermine Belle Public Lecture 2026, an evening dedicated to amplifying lived experiences, challenging stigma, and inspiring meaningful change in mental health care.

🎤 This year’s lecture brings together two powerful perspectives:

👩🏽‍⚕️ Dr. Kadisha Douglin, Consultant Psychiatrist, who will explore “Meaningful Engagement: Toward Community-Based, Person-Centred Mental Health Care.”

🌟 Shakira Pereira (Kira P), digital creator and mental health advocate, who will share her perspective on the importance of lived experiences, authentic conversations, and breaking down barriers surrounding mental health.

Together, we will explore why listening to those with lived experiences is not simply important — it is essential to building compassionate, inclusive, and person-centred mental health services.

💜 World Alzheimer’s Day | 21 September 💜

Memory changes can sometimes be dismissed as simply “getting older,” but persistent changes in memory, thinking, communication, judgement, mood or the ability to manage everyday tasks deserve attention.

This World Alzheimer’s Day, the Barbados Association of Psychiatrists encourages everyone to learn the warning signs, start conversations early, and seek medical advice when there are concerns.
Early assessment can help identify the cause of symptoms, guide treatment and planning, and connect individuals and families with the support they need.

🧠 Recognise the signs. Support the journey.
đź’ś Show understanding.
🤝 Include, don’t exclude.
đź’™ Support people living with dementia and their caregivers.

Together, we can help build a more dementia friendly Barbados where people are treated with dignity, compassion and respect.
Healthy Minds. Brighter Tomorrows.

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month.

Part 1

The Barbados Association of Psychiatrists had an insightful conversation with Mr. Rodney Toppin, Deputy Principal Nursing Officer at the Barbados Psychiatric Hospital, highlighting the importance of men’s mental health and well-being.

Men often face unique challenges when it comes to recognizing, expressing, and seeking support for mental health concerns. By fostering open conversations, reducing stigma, and encouraging help-seeking, we can create a culture where men feel empowered to prioritize their mental health.

Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month

How often do you check in with your mental health?

Just as we monitor our physical health, it’s important to take a few moments each day to reflect on how we’re feeling emotionally and mentally. Regular self-check-ins can help us recognize stress, build resilience, and seek support when needed.

In this video, Data Analyst David Poyser shares insights into his own check in process.

This Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, we encourage all men to pause, reflect, and ask themselves: “How am I really doing today?”

Checking in with yourself isn’t a sign of weakness it’s a step toward strength, wellness, and growth.

Dr. Janine Morris spent time with the family at New Dimensions Ministries, speaking specifically about the importance of guarding our mental health in a world filled with so many outside influences.

Her message was timely, practical, and deeply needed.

Consultant Psychiatrist Dr. Sharon Harvey discusses how incorporating exercise and physical activity into daily life can positively impact mental health and overall wellbeing.

Exercise is not only beneficial for the body, it is powerful medicine for the mind.

Regular physical activity can help reduce stress, improve mood, support better sleep, enhance concentration, and decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Whether it’s walking, swimming, dancing, cycling, or participating in sports, movement plays an important role in maintaining mental wellness.

Take care of your mind. Move your body. Prioritise your health.
