In response to alarming police data revealing a surge in serious youth-related crimes, social workers, counselors, and psychologists in Barbados are being urged to intensify their efforts to deter young people from criminal and antisocial behaviors. The call to action came during the closing ceremony of a two-week Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) training program, organized by the Ministry of Educational Transformation and the MultiCare Youth Foundation.
