MENTAL HEALTH: Prevention actions will be implemented locally

0

The regional health agency (ARS) will set up this year the territorial mental health project (PTSM) for the northern islands. A diagnostic of the territory was carried out identifying the needs in Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy. "The work was presented last December to the ministerial delegate for mental health, Franck Bellivier," says Valérie Denux, the director general of ARS Guadeloupe.

From this document, objectives and actions to achieve them will be defined. “The writing of the document is in progress. Then, I will take the necessary orders to apply the actions which will be implemented in a multi-year plan ”, specifies the director. These actions should improve prevention, care and support for patients as well as their support and social integration.

The (PTSM) brings together all the players in the health, social and medico-social fields, including representatives of the COM, associations, and the local health council. It will not only cover the thematic of psychiatry but will be interested in other local problems like suicides or addictions. (soualigaspot.com)
