Mental well-being is not a luxury — it is essential.

 Good mental health empowers individuals to realise their full potential, manage everyday stress, work productively, and actively contribute to their communities and national development. Yet, too often, mental health is overlooked. Discrimination, neglect, and rights violations against people with mental health conditions—such as poor healthcare access, stigma, and few job opportunities—remain widespread in Ghana and across Africa. 

Organisers: CAMHA in collaboration with MHA and the Three Psychiatric Hospitals. These activities aim to increase social integration and reduce stigma. It was great to observe patient and staff out of their usual hospital and confined environment to more social environment.
