Who we are?
Polycarpe is a nonprofit 501 (c) 3 organization which helps with mental health awareness outreach in Caribbean Communities. We are celebrating over ten years of providing educational awareness and trying to remove that strong stigma put on those with a mental illness. We have stayed afloat to a minimum by small personal contributions.
Our Mission
To promote mental health awareness throughout the Caribbean Community by outreach and research of current trends in treatment in order to refer clients to available services.
Polycarpe will decrease mental health stigma within Caribbean Communities through education & evidence-based research by promoting awareness of mental health challenges in order to increase access and use of mental health services, when needed, by Caribbean people.
