By Zoila Palma: PAHO/WHO, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Wellness and the Belize Police Force, has launched a four-day “Training of Trainers” program to strengthen police response to mental health crises.
Seventy-five police officers are participating in the training, which focuses on mental health awareness, crisis intervention, and self-care. The goal is to equip officers with the skills to manage mental health situations and train others across the country.
The revised Mental Health Training Manual emphasizes early intervention, improved collaboration with mental health professionals, and better officer well-being. The program includes role-playing, group activities, and interactive sessions.
Organizers say the initiative reflects a growing commitment to addressing mental health challenges in Belize through a multi-sectoral approach.
