As part of activities to commemorate Mental Health Awareness Day and Mother’s Day, MomsConnectGH last Saturday organised a donation drive to the Accra Psychiatric Hospital under its outreach initiative, The Hannah Project.

Speaking during the exercise, representatives of the organisation stressed the importance of giving greater attention to mental health issues and supporting mental healthcare institutions across the country.

“Mental healthcare is just as important as physical healthcare. We all have a role to play in supporting mental health institutions and creating more awareness around these issues,” a representative of the group stated.

Head of Public Relations at the Accra Psychiatric Hospital, Dr Peggy Asiedu Ekremet, expressed appreciation to MomsConnectGH for the gesture and urged the public to prioritise mental health and seek professional support when necessary.

“Mental health issues can affect anyone. Seeking help is a sign of strength and not weakness. We encourage people to speak up and seek professional support when they need it,” she said.

MomsConnectGH noted that The Hannah Project forms part of its broader mission to build a supportive community for mothers while positively impacting lives through outreach and wellness initiatives.

The organisation also expressed appreciation to individuals, partners, and institutions that contributed to the success of the donation exercise.
