Secretary of the Board of Supervision, Treka Lewis, has called on Jamaicans to treat indigent and homeless persons with respect, and help to improve the lives of members of this vulnerable population.

Speaking during a recent JIS Studio 58a interview, Lewis provided an insight into the needs of the indigent and homeless from her position of monitoring and supervising.

“It is not all about the food and clothing and it is not all about the shelter sometimes, surprisingly. It is important to recognise that some of these persons were once productive members of society and have fallen on hard times. Some of us are just one natural disaster away from homelessness,” said Lewis.

In dismissing myths around homeless persons, she added that “not all homeless persons lived a bad life before that led them down this path. It is just unfortunate circumstances for the most part, and it can happen to any of us. Not all homeless persons are mentally ill, and even if they are mentally ill, there is nothing wrong with that.”

She encouraged persons to help the mentally ill to become stabilised so they may function effectively. This may entail relocating a homeless person from the streets so that they do not harm themselves or others.

Lewis advised that only the mental health team from the Ministry of Health and Wellness and the police can legally remove a mentally ill person from the street. Contact may be made with them or the Board of Supervision within the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development where the need arises.

Additionally, Lewis said the aim is not to keep persons dependent on aid from the poor relief departments within the various municipal corporations, and the public can partner to rehabilitate them and help with networking, where possible.

“Talk to them and find out what happened and how we can move from where we are to where we want to be; what skills they have and how we can develop those skills. Try and help persons with the soft skills and with things like r?sum? writing,” she encouraged.

She explained that sharing information about the skills and talents of the homeless helps the poor relief departments coordinate rehabilitation efforts.

Another step on the road to rehabilitation is that of family support.

“I cannot overemphasise the need for family support. We need to encourage that and get back to that. I believe that if the family plays a more active role in the lives of persons, it can help with rehabilitation and reintegration,” said Lewis.

Where residents of infirmaries are concerned, she said volunteers are welcome to help with grooming, reading to the residents and taking them for walks around the compounds.

“We need to try and encourage respect and help them. See them as human beings and persons who are deserving of respect and a better life,” Lewis pleaded.

Crime and violence are regional issues, therefore, a collaborative and systematic approach is needed to curtail its rise.

Prime Minister of Jamaica Andrew Holness shared the view as he noted that both Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago have been faced with similar challenges relating to the escalation of crime and violence.

Holness was delivering remarks at the opening of the Dr Eric Williams Memorial Library in Port of Spain, Trinidad on Tuesday.

The event was part of Trinidad and Tobago’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

Prime Minister Holness is in the country on the invitation of Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley.

Both Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica are celebrating 60 years of Independence this month.

The Jamaican prime minister said: “The challenges of our time from the global financial crises, pandemics, catastrophic weather events, hurricanes and other climate-related issues, food, energy and security.

“These are particularly difficult times globally, for our regional family, for our local households and communities. And, those charged with leadership have a particularly difficult time, but we who are charged with leadership must give leadership.”

Holness said being faced with these challenges, Caribbean nations’ leadership cannot resile in the face of difficulties, but must press on and act in the best interest of the people.

He said Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago have increased cooperation in a number of critical areas as part of ongoing strategic dialogue.

As part of these conversations, there has been focus on capacity building through exchange of expertise and experience, including in the areas of trade and investment, education, security and air services.

Holness added that: “We do, however, face a new frontier of challenge, and that is violence gripping our nations.

“Prime Minister Rowley and myself, I think we had a very good conversation as to the directions governments can take.”

The Jamaican prime minister said he is hopeful that these talks will bear fruit with a greater policy thrust towards treating with the challenges facing both nations.
