IN a significant step towards enhancing the mental well-being of its personnel, 33 ranks from the Guyana Fire Service recently completed a comprehensive mental health seminar led by Dr. Anand Arulsamy, Senior Psychologist at the Ministry of Health’s Mental Health Unit.
The seminar, held over the past two days, covered a range of crucial topics, including the workings of the mind, time management, neural pathways, and anger management.
