Her remarks come in the context of Purple Month, a mental health awareness initiative led by the Mental Health Authority and the Ghana Health Service, aimed at promoting emotional well-being and reducing stigma around mental illness.
According to the Chief Executive Officer of the Mental Health Authority, Professor Pinamang Apau, the goal of the campaign is to raise awareness about mental health, combat stigma, and celebrate the possibility of recovery.
“In keeping with the Authority’s mission to raise awareness among the general public, elevate the voices of mental health service users and caregivers, and fight for the rights and needs of individuals impacted, this month-long campaign also exhorts people to include movement in their daily lives as a means of promoting mental wellness,” she added.
