WISH is deeply saddened by the passing of Delroy Victor, who was found at his home on Jonas Road earlier today. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who knew and loved him. Losing someone in such a heartbreaking manner is a painful reminder of the urgent need to continue open conversations about mental health and suicide prevention in our community.
At WISH, we are committed to breaking the silence and stigma surrounding mental health struggles. No one should have to battle their thoughts alone. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out—whether to a trusted friend, family member, or a mental health professional. Support is available, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
We recognize that Antigua and Barbuda does not yet have a dedicated suicide prevention hotline, but there are trained professionals ready to offer guidance and support. If you are feeling overwhelmed, please speak with a doctor, therapist, or counselor. There is hope, and help is within reach.
To those grieving this loss, we urge you to lean on your support systems and take care of your mental well-being. You are not alone, and there is a community that cares for you.
Let us all take this moment to reaffirm our commitment to mental health awareness and to being there for one another. If you need help, please don’t hesitate to ask for it. You are valued, you are loved, and your life matters.
