A two-member delegation from the Ministry of Equity, Social Justice, and Empowerment returned home from neighboring Trinidad and Tobago following a highly insightful and impactful study tour. Conducted from August 14 to 18, 2024, the delegation comprised Permanent Secretary Dr. Charmaine Hippolyte Emmanuel and Manager of the Boys Training Centre (BTC), Ms. Leanna Wallace. The technocrats sought to deepen their understanding of best practices in rehabilitation, diversion, and reintegration programs for children, adolescents, and youth.

The team visited the Youth Transformation and Rehabilitation Centre (YTRC) in Arouca and the St. Jude Home for Girls in Diego Martin during the tour. These facilities are recognized for their innovative approaches and effective therapeutic interventions, which have successfully supported the rehabilitation and social reintegration of young individuals in the Twin Island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
