A team of mental health professionals will visit 32 schools this week as part of efforts to help students cope with the effects of the covid-19 pandemic.
The initiative is a collaborative effort between the ministries of education and health.
The sessions, which are being carried out by members of the Jamaica Psychiatric Association and Jamaica Psychological Association, will introduce students to the various dimensions of health, including mental health.
The health ministry says the team will also expose students to coping mechanisms for dealing with stress.
Some schools will join the sessions virtually.
