First Caribbean Congress on Adolescent and Youth Health

In just couple of weeks ‘The Hyatt Regency Trinidad’ will host the First Caribbean Congress on Adolescent and Youth Health. A consortium of Caribbean and regional partners is organizing a regional Congress to mobilize greater investment and connect, collaborate and align efforts in the Caribbean for the promotion and protection of the health and well-being of all adolescents and young people.  The congress takes place October 15-17, 2019 in Trinidad and Tobago.

This Congress, the first of its kind in the Caribbean, will be a launch-pad from which advocates, health and social workers, policy-makers, academia, clinicians and young people themselves can heed the call towards improving their health and well-being for the future development of the region.

There will be a special session addressing the health needs of young people with disabilities as well.

Representing the Barbados Council for the Disabled will be Mr. Christopher Gilkes, our Public Relations Officer.
