Nasssau, Bahamas - To dream the impossible dream is precisely what the late Adrella Gibson
did, when she proposed the creation of therapeutic environments throughout the
grounds of the Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre compound.
Nursing Officer Gibson was adamant that the clients’ clinical experience
should be complemented by the outdoors. Ms. Gibson was one
of the Bahamas’ most decorated and qualified Psychiatric Nurses. She provided a blue print that guided the
process for developing the areas even after her death on August 12th
2012.
On Sunday 22nd February, 2015 at 3:00pm Sandilands
Rehabilitation Centre will officially rename Phase One of the project “Drella’s
Dream” in memory of this great nursing legend. The Bahamas is invited to share in this
historic celebration as we move from stigma to socialization.
This dream come true will provide a beautiful landscaped, furnished,
sensory garden to facilitate the restoration of individual lives, family
relationships and the healing of the nation.
Bahamas mental health is marching on, please join in.
