Accra:<Text>
Jubilare Group, in partnership with Ghana's Mental Health Authority and 18 leading organizations, today launched a comprehensive Mental Health Campaign 2026, unveiling plans for Ghana's first 24/7 remote mental health care platform and committing to directly support over 1,000 mothers, students, and professionals through screening, counseling, and support services.
According to Ghana Web, the campaign is a collaborative effort to address the mental health crisis in Ghana. Deborah Asmah, co-founder and Chief Marketing and Operations Officer of Npontu Technologies and President of Jubilare Group, shared her personal experience with postnatal depression. "I learned the name for what I was experiencing not from my hospital or doctor. I learned it from Google. In the dark hours. Alone," Deborah revealed, highlighting the lack of awareness and support available to many mothers.
The campaign aims to tackle the staggering statistics showing that 50% of G hanaian mothers experience perinatal depression, with 13-17% reporting suicidal thoughts. Additionally, one in five new mothers battles postnatal depression, while one in three university students struggles with anxiety or depression. "Mental health is like malaria - it can affect anyone. We don't shame people for getting malaria treatment. Mental health deserves the same dignity," Deborah emphasized.
The digital platform, developed with the Mental Health Authority, will offer 24/7 remote access to licensed therapists, psychiatrists, and counselors. "A mother battling depression at 2 AM shouldn't wait until morning. A student at midnight needs help now," Asmah explained. Scheduled to launch in Q3/Q4 2026, the platform aims to improve access to mental health support while addressing stigma and privacy concerns.
Dr. Eugene Dordoye, CEO of the Mental Health Authority of Ghana, stressed the importance of collaborative action in transforming mental healthcare. "We envision a Gha na where innovation and partnership become bridges between suffering and support; where care is not imprisoned by geography; where help is not determined by proximity; and where mental healthcare becomes more responsive, more accessible, and more humane," he stated.
The campaign also supports awareness and implementation of Ghana's Maternal Mental Health Policy launched on March 31, 2026. "A policy without awareness is just paper. This campaign provides awareness, activation, and accountability," Deborah stated.
Organizations supporting the campaign include the Mental Health Authority of Ghana, Mental Health Society of Ghana, Lister Hospital, 37 Military Hospital, University of Ghana Medical Center, Legon Hospital, Pantang Hospital, Accra Psychiatric Hospital, Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, GBfoods, MTN Ghana, Fincra, and Hopeful Nkomo. "This is our fight. Not theirs. Ours," Deborah declared. "Breaking stigma starts with each of us. The silence ends here!"
