For the first time, a Regional Mental Health Study has been conducted across the Dutch Caribbean, providing a clear overview of mental health on these islands within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Dutch Caribbean Mental Health (DCMH) federation has presented the Regional Mental Health Profile, offering a first comprehensive and comparable look at the types and scale of mental health issues in the region. The study collected data from a total of 8,400 clients across the five islands. Most clients receive care on their home island, while a smaller number travel to another island within the Kingdom for treatment.
