Our Strategy & Design Process
Summary:
The primary goal for this project was to plan and design a scalable LMS portal for mental health training, including interactive courses, resources, related news and events in Guyana, addressing the urgent need to address the nation's alarming suicide rates.
The portal houses a comprehensive suicide prevention training program designed for Gatekeepers, with self-paced learning, resources, assessments and quizzes – providing trainers and educators with essential insights into suicidal behavior and mental health disorders.
This project was funded by the Government of Canada, through Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and the International Development and Relief Foundation (IDRF).
Impact:
✔ The new portal empowers hundreds of healthcare workers and educators with essential mental health training. As a result, impacting the lives of thousands across various regions of the country.
