For years, we were asking for a group to focus on the mental wellness of young people in Barbados and the wider Caribbean and for years, those calls seemed to fall on deaf ears. Four years ago, the @letsunpackitco team answered the call. Four years later, still doing the work.

Today, let’s not forget that as we stand to fight for the mental health and wellness of our children and youth, we all have our parts to play. No one organization or individual can make the change, but through collective action, the wheels will turn!
