The Wellness Directory
Connecting People to Care, Support, and Hope
The Wellness Directory is a resource designed to help individuals, families, schools, parishes, and communities identify available support services across Trinidad and Tobago.
It brings together information on organisations, ministries, professionals, and services that may assist persons seeking support for mental health, family life, education, pastoral care, social support, and general wellbeing.
What Is the Wellness Directory?
The Wellness Directory is a practical guide intended to make it easier for people to find help when they need it.
It was developed as part of the Samaritan Movement’s wider effort to strengthen networks of care across the Archdiocese and the wider national community. The Directory supports the Movement’s commitment to connecting existing resources, reducing isolation, and helping people take the next step toward support.
The Directory may be useful for:
• Families seeking guidance or support
• Teachers and school leaders assisting students or parents
• Clergy and pastoral workers accompanying persons in distress
• Youth leaders and parish ministries supporting young people
• Community members looking for available services
• Professionals seeking referral options
Why This Directory Matters
Many people do not know where to turn when facing emotional distress, family difficulty, grief, trauma, conflict, or mental health concerns. Others may know help exists but may not know how to begin looking for it.
The Wellness Directory helps bridge that gap by making information more accessible.
It does not replace professional care, emergency services, counselling, medical attention, or pastoral accompaniment. Rather, it serves as a starting point to help people identify possible sources of support and make informed next steps.
How to Use the Directory
Users may browse the Directory to identify services or organisations that may be relevant to their needs.
Depending on the listing, persons may find information related to:
• Mental health and counselling support
• Family and parenting services
• Child and youth support
• Education-related resources
• Pastoral care and parish-based ministries
• Community and social support services
• Emergency or urgent support pathways where applicable
Before making contact with any listed service, users are encouraged to check directly with the organisation or provider to confirm availability, opening hours, referral procedures, fees if applicable, and the type of support currently being offered.
Important Note
The Wellness Directory is intended as an informational resource. It is not an emergency response service and does not provide direct crisis intervention. In an emergency or life-threatening situation, persons should contact the relevant emergency services or go to the nearest appropriate health facility.
The information contained in the Directory may change over time. Users are encouraged to contact listed organisations directly to confirm details.
