Medical personnel and social workers from the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) graduated on Friday from a four-day training course in mental health, according to the Department of Public Information (DPI).

The training has come in the wake of thousands of redundancies in the sugar industry and concerns about the impact this is having on the mental health of these former sugar workers.

A closing ceremony, where the graduates were issued their certificates, was held at GuySuCo’s staff club at its La Bonne Intention’s (LBI) head office.
