Antigua and Barbuda Holistic Coalition, Inc. (ABHC)

 

 

​Grantee of the Mill Reef Fund

​

We’re proud to share that Antigua and Barbuda Holistic Coalition (ABHC) has been awarded grant funding from the Mill Reef Fund in the amount of xcd$14,300.00 to support our Youth Mental Health & Holistic Wellness Access Programme. This grant allows us to expand access to counselling, assessments, emotional-literacy programmes, and parent education—ensuring more children and families in Antigua and Barbuda receive the mental health support they deserve.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the Mill Reef Fund for investing in the mental health and wellbeing of young people and families.

​

We are also proud to announce a donation of xcd$5,000.00 by the Citizenship by Investment Programme of Antigua and Barbuda, showing their continued commitment to uplifting youth as a valued community partner. CIU's donation helped us surpass our 2026 funding goal — and that means more access, more support, and more impact for our young people and families.

​

• Medication management, when clinically indicated
