In a vibrant initiative set to intensify mental health support, Yolette Hinds has launched Talk and Listen Care Services (TLC), an innovative programme that combines the calming art of yoga with the insightful practice of counselling. Through this, she aims to restore balance for individuals navigating life’s challenges, where emotional wellness often takes a backseat to physical health.
At just 39 years old, Hinds brings a rich tapestry of experience to TLC. A dedicated volunteer from ages 16 to 23, her passion for helping vulnerable children has driven her career as a family counsellor over the past five years. As the fourth of five children raised in Sophia, she intimately understands the cultural nuances and stigma surrounding mental health in her community, which fuelled her desire to be a catalyst for change.
