US based-foundation to offer counseling to Jamaican educators on hurricane trauma

KINGSTON, Jamaica — In response to the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, the Pamella’s Sunrise Foundation, in partnership with the Ministry of Education, Skills, Youth and Information’s guidance counseling unit and the Jamaica Poets Nomadic College and School Tour, has redirected its efforts to provide psychotherapeutic and trauma-informed interventions for educators. Originally scheduled for December, the foundation’s ‘Make the Children Laugh’ event, aimed at alleviating emotional pain in children, has been postponed to prioritize hurricane recovery and restoration efforts.
