Community Mental Health and Cultural Therapy in Jamaica

In order to reduce risk factors for children, cultural therapists and psychologists worked with a group of 30 school-aged children with conduct disorders in Allman Town, Jamaica. Working at the school-level, this form of early intervention combined cultural therapy with remedial math, reading, art, crafts and music. In this video the project team, Frederick Hickling and Hilary Robertson-Hickling, both at the University of the West Indies, and Jaswant Guzder at McGill University, discuss the reasoning behind the programme and share its outcomes.
