A local non-profit organisation is taking steps to foster greater inclusion and support for those living with intellectual disabilities in Antigua and Barbuda.
According to Antigua Observer, Friends of the Care Project is launching a dedicated community forum aimed at supporting families, caregivers, and advocates who navigate the daily challenges associated with intellectual disabilities.
Kathleen "Kate" James, representing the organisation, spoke on State Media to outline the initiative. James emphasised the forum's role in building a healthier and more inclusive community for all residents.
The Friends of the Care Project operates as a charitable non-profit organisation, and this forum represents a focused effort to bring together those most directly affected by intellectual disabilities — from family members to professional caregivers and community advocates.
Further details regarding the forum's schedule, location, and agenda are expected to be announced by the organisation in the coming days.
