Two initiatives to equip vulnerable youths and parents with essential skills to help them cope and thrive will be launched under the National Peace Program (NPP), this weekend.
They are the Elevate the Peace Programme and the Parent-Wise Community Project, which will be rolled out on Saturday, May 4.
The Elevate the Peace Programme aims at achieving positive change in the most vulnerable young people. It comprises community pop-ups and direct intervention clubs, which are designed to empower communities within the 11 parishes of Barbados.
The Parent-Wise Community Project will provide parental sessions in several selected communities across the island for approximately one year. The sessions will be facilitated by five civil society organisations.
