After the recent death of George Floyd, I want to dedicate a Memoriam of the many black people in this country who have been victims of generations of institutional racism. I used the song " A Change Is Gonna Come " because I believe one day that people, as long as they fight, will continue to make strides in making sure that people of all colors are human beings and should also be treated as such.

There is a critical dearth of safe, culturally relevant and competent Mental Health Services in Haiti, due to lack of social service and mental health infrastructure, lack of affordable resources, shortage of trained clinicians, and shortage of funding for potentially useful psychotropic medications.
The story behind “Twoub Mantal (Healing A Nation)” is that a few years ago, a social worker, Richard Saintal from the Cité Soleil region of Port-au-Prince suffered what appeared to be a traumatic psychotic break. Richard’s preventable death while in residential care at a psychiatric hospital in Haiti was an outrage which underscores how many disadvantaged individuals with mental disorders who reach out to the Haitian Mental Health system fail to receive the help and in fact, may face neglect, poor care and eventually life-threatening conditions.
