Regal State of Mind was created in October 2017 to offer mental health advocacy tailored to Caribbean communities (and the larger African Diaspora) via social media to dignify their mental health journeys amidst heightened stigma.

Regal State of Mind's consultants completed its first set of freelance public speaking and training services on mental health across The Bahamas. Our consultants expanded to completing a year-long global health fellowship to advance health equity for people at risk of or already living with HIV/AIDS, housing insecurity, mental illness, and substance abuse in New York, USA (many of whom were Caribbean immigrants or first-generation Caribbean Americans) through advocacy, data analytics, policy development, and project management.

Regal State of Mind's consultants returned to New Providence, The Bahamas after the year-long fellowship. They continued their mental health advocacy work by providing peer mental health support to victims and first responders of Hurricane Dorian who were displaced and relocated to New Providence. They also accepted a program management consultancy in Grand Bahama with Mercy Corps to support local and international stakeholders with strengthening water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH).

Our consultants continued to support the Hurricane Dorian response WASH program, which extended to address the COVID-19 pandemic, by developing standard operating procedures to document, complete, and hand over activities to the local stakeholders in Grand Bahama.

Our consultants returned to New Providence to complete a consultancy with The Bahamas Red Cross to manage the Preparedness for Effective Response project at the headquarters and across six islands, with cross-cutting themes in health in emergencies and Protection. Gender and Inclusion.

Our consultants provided public health expertise to Royal Caribbean Cruise Line to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic on its CocoCay private destination, then accepted a consultancy to provide technical cooperation to the Ministry of Health and other relevant agencies in The Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands on behalf of the Pan American Health Organization, the regional office for the World Health Organization, in the areas of communicable diseases and public health emergencies.

Regal State of Health Consultancy was formally established as a boutique public health consulting firm to design culturally rooted public health solutions in the form of products, technical services, and resources to address multiple health challenges that significantly affect the Caribbean region.
