Even as adults, we often struggle to process our emotions. Imagine how overwhelming it must be for our youth. Trolling or insulting them won't help. What they really need are safe spaces to feel, express, and heal. Let’s do more than just stroll, let’s speak up, create, and protect those spaces for them.

As illegal drugs flood our communities, unlicensed pharmacies and aboki dealers are stealing the potential of our generation, leaving behind nothing but addiction, lost opportunities and irreversible damage to their body organs (heart, kidney and liver).
We all have a part to play especially celebrities/influencers. Write about it on your page. Share your thoughts. Share this video. Together, we can avert our lost glory 🙏

🔥Heat waves and Pregnancy🤰Climate change has disrupted normal seasonal temperatures resulting into the current HEAT WAVES we're experiencing across the country particularly in the northern regions. This poses serious risks to vulnerable groups such as the aged, children, those with chronic conditions like respiratory diseases, and PREGNANT WOMEN. Heatwaves can increase the risk of MISCARRIAGES, PRETERM LABOR, and STILLBIRTHS. Please take a moment and listen to this important information, and share it with any pregnant woman you know. Thank you🤗

It is important to consider people's mental space before unloading your own experiences or someone you know who have gone through similar or worse situation whenever someone opens up to you. We usually do this in an attempt to validate their feelings or experiences. This, however, could unintentionally intensify their challenges and undermine your goal. The most courteous and responsible approach is to prioritize their well-being by ensuring they have the mental space to process their own challenges first. Before venting or sharing personal experiences, practice the "ask-to-share" approach by simply asking, "Would you be okay if I talked about something that’s been on my mind?" This small act gives the other person a choice, allowing them to prepare mentally or set boundaries if they aren’t in the right headspace.Let's practice MINDFUL SHARING because mental well-being goes both ways. Kindly listen and share 👇🫶

Valentine’s Day is a time to show love, but true love also means protecting yourself and your partner. With HIV infections on the rise in Ghana(50 new infections daily-Ghana AIDS Commission), let’s make responsible choices:

Love smart; use protection, know your status.
Love safe; get tested, stay informed.
Love responsibly; respect boundaries and avoid risky behaviors.

Love should never come at the cost of your health. Let’s celebrate wisely and protect our future!
Happy Valentine's day to you all🫶❤️🫶

I sat through a session that hit me hard. It wasn’t just about mental health; it was about who is there when a person’s mind is at war with itself.

A speaker shared the story of an 8-year-old boy with anxiety so crippling that he stopped speaking. His teachers called him “difficult.” His classmates called him “weird.” But what truly shattered him was when his own mother, overwhelmed and uninformed, called him “lazy.”

An elderly woman with dementia wandered away from home one evening. She was found the next morning, confused and frightened, sitting alone on a park bench. When her family was called, they sighed and said, “She does this all the time. We don’t know what to do with her anymore.”

A young man with a disability, battling depression, finally opened up to his family about his pain. The response? “You have food, shelter, and a place to sleep. What do you have to be depressed about?”

And just like that, they each faded into silence.

This session forced me to ask—who holds them when they break?

đź’” Who teaches parents that their child's anxiety is not misbehavior, but a plea for understanding?
đź’” Who reminds families that the elderly are not disposable, but a treasure of stories and wisdom?
💔 Who tells a person with disabilities that their pain is real, and that they don’t have to fight it alone?

Family is supposed to be the first place we turn to, not the first place that turns us away.

This is why I do what I do. In Ghana, far too many people; children, the elderly, and those with disabilities suffer in silence because mental health is still misunderstood, ignored, and stigmatized. Through , I am working to change that by strengthening family and community support systems, because professional care alone is not enough. Love, understanding, and patience must start at home.

If you have ever felt unseen in your struggles, or if you know someone who has, drop a ❤️ in the comments. Let’s break the silence together.

We spend long hours at work every day as compared to our homes. How can one thrive in an environment that lacks empathy and support especially when struggling silently or dealing with trauma? A workplace that is trauma-informed serves as a safe haven fostering both individual general well-being and productivity. The time is now!
