Making a difference
in Haiti and the Dominican Republic

In mid-July, the Relief and Reconstrution (R&R) Office welcomed a group of mental health specialists from the Toronto Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). The CAMH team included Program Consultant Antoine Derose and three specialists of Haitian descent; Ketty Jean Baptiste, RN, clinical pharmacist-Colette Raphael and physician and registered naturopath, Nicole Constant.  The specialists conducted trauma relief sessions for Grace staff and community members involved in GCH construction.

The program was a tremendous success, and over 240 people attended the week-long seminar! Participants were very grateful for the wealth of knowledge and information they received and left feeling empowered to pass on what they had learnt to members of their respective communities.

ICC is committed to helping earthquake victims emotionally, psychologically and spiritually in the years that lie ahead by providing psychological support services at GCH and offering group and individual counseling sessions. ICC Canada congratulates the R&R Office for its successful implementation of the Mental Health Seminar with the Toronto Centre for Addiction and Mental Health!

We will provide more updates as we receive them.
