Champions of Adolescent Mental Health

In Ghana, conditions like depression and substance use are widespread, yet access to care remains limited—with only three psychiatric hospitals. The Dora Awuah Foundation responds to this gap by prioritizing vulnerable adolescents. We combine professional expertise with community volunteers to deliver awareness, psychoeducation, and safe spaces for self-help coping strategies.
