Social Transformation Officers (STOs) can now better access social protection support services and create resilient pathways for community residents by leveraging support from the Youth Resilience, Inclusion, and Empowerment (Y-RIE) Programme.

Initiated in 2022 by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Y-RIE aims to enhance community and family support systems for youth at risk by using evidence-based learning methods, referral system evaluations, community mapping surveys, mental health, and psychosocial support services and a sustainable social protection system.

Saint Lucia has integrated the care and management of COVID-19 into the health care system as we learn to live safely with COVID-19. Over the past year, we have continued to note the introduction of new variants and have managed COVID-19 cases in country. The new variants introduced seem more contagious than regular influenza, causing respiratory illness lasting between 5-7 days. Generally, the testing rate is very low at this time, with most patients managing the symptoms at home, self-treating until recovery.
