TCI Department of Behavioural Health Services

TCI Department of Behavioural Health Services The official page of The Department of Behavioural Health Services, Turks and Caicos Islands.

In 2009, the Ministry of Health combined the National Drug Unit, Counseling & Psychological Services and Psychiatric Services; to create an integrated treatment approach to psychological and psychiatric needs of the Turks and Caicos Islands. As a reflection of this merge, the Department was given the name Department of Mental Health and Substance Dependence. The Department of Mental Health and Sub

stance Dependence (DMHSD) functions as the Turks and Caicos Islands central authority for mental health and substance use disorders. In collaboration with other government departments and community agencies, DMHSD provides services and support to persons of all ages, who live with mental illness, emotional disturbance, or substance use disorders.

Would it be managing stress a little better?

Communicating more effectively?

Setting healthier boundaries?

Or becoming more resilient when life gets difficult?

The Mental Health Skills Passport Program isn't about being perfect. It's about learning practical skills that can make everyday life a little easier.

Over eight interactive weeks, you'll build skills that support emotional well-being, healthier relationships, and greater resilience - one step at a time.

Weโ€™re at $mart today from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and weโ€™d love for you to stop by.

As part of MindShift: Shift Your Mind, weโ€™re inviting our community to experience our Auditory Hallucination Simulation, offering a brief glimpse into what everyday moments can feel like for some persons in our community living with diagnosed/undiagnosed schizophrenia.

Itโ€™s one thing to hear about someoneโ€™s experience. Itโ€™s another to step, even briefly, into a moment that may look very different from your own.

After the simulation, make your pledge. A pledge to challenge stigma. To lead with compassion. To see the person before the diagnosis. And to help create a community where no one feels defined or isolated because of a mental health condition.

Stop by $mart between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

Experience it. Make your pledge. Shift Your Mind.

It changed the way we worked.

The way we learned.

The way we connected.

It reminded us how deeply we need one another, even as we grew more comfortable behind screens.

Now, as artificial intelligence becomes part of our everyday lives, we're faced with a new question.

How do we embrace innovation without losing human connection?

That's the conversation we're building at this year's conference.

If you have an idea that can help us answer it, we'd love to hear from you.

Schizophrenia is often surrounded by questions, assumptions, and misconceptions. Today, we're setting those aside and starting with the basics.

What is schizophrenia?

This first Mind Shift isn't about myths or stigma.

It's about understanding the condition itself, because meaningful conversations begin with a shared foundation.

Take a moment to read today's graphic.

Sometimes the smallest shift in understanding is where the biggest changes begin.

Understanding builds compassion. Compassion builds stronger communities.

Most of us were taught mathematics.

Most of us were taught English.

But very few of us were taught how to calm our minds when we're overwhelmed, communicate during conflict, or cope with life's challenges.

These aren't personality traits. They're skills.

The Mental Health Skills Passport Program was created to help adults and adolescents build practical skills that support emotional well-being, healthier relationships, and resilience.
