A clinical psychologist has called for urgent interventions to save the lives of young people amid a spike in suicides in Barbados, mainly involving young men.“I am not saying it as a slogan, I am saying ‘God please, we need to get them the access to help that they need’,” Christa Soleyn pleaded while participating in a discussion on Youth Mental Health hosted by the United Nations Office for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean as part of events to mark International Youth Day.She warned that many young people are grappling with a range of issues and authorities must act now to provide a lifeline before it’s too late.“Lots of young people don’t know how to cope. I am talking about in schools,” Soleyn said, suggesting that intervention should start in a serious way in schools.
