The MindWise Project is a collective of health advocates increasing public accessibility to mental health resources in Trinidad and Tobago, while working to build a “digital eco-system of knowledge sharing,” driven by mental health professionals and supporting agencies.   

During Mental Health Awareness Month in May, Maria O’Brien, MindWise’s Director of Digital Development, talked to Lindy-Ann Edwards-Alleyne about the organisation’s content curation model that has sustainability built into its design.  
This interview was recorded in May 2021, during Mental Health Awareness Month.

About the #BuildBackBetterCaribbean podcast series

Living with COVID-19 is about adopting behavioural changes, adapting to social disruption, and absorbing the economic impact of the pandemic. It’s our brave new normal of survival. Prevailing over the pandemic will mean applying its lessons to not only recover but to emerge stronger and more resilient.     
Caribbean civil society - already in the business of social transformation – is still leading the struggle to protect human rights, improve lives and fortify communities, but now in a changed, post-COVID context: one that demands urgent, direct action to overcome the impact of the pandemic but that also presents opportunities to rebuild better and move faster towards the #Caribbeanfuturewewant.   
The United Nations Information Centre for the Caribbean Area wanted to hear directly from civil society organisations (CSOs) about their own experiences supporting clients through the global pandemic emergency, and how they perceive their roles in the rebuilding that must follow. Also, how the Sustainable Development Goal framework is supporting this reconstruction of lives and livelihoods to achieve an inclusive, peaceful, sustainable development vision.     
The #BuildbackbetterCaribbean podcast series of conversations on the post-COVID Caribbean, captures CSO insights on their pandemic experience and their stories of recovery and rebuilding as they draw on the SDG toolbox to construct a brighter, more durable and resilient Caribbean future.
