As part of this bold initiative, the conveners launched a GHS 4 million fundraising campaign to refurbish the Special Ward intoGhana\u2019s first Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).

This means that donations made toward the reconstruction of the Special Ward shall be allowable as a tax-deductible expense in the computation of income for the 2025 year of assessment.<\/p>\n

Under the theme \u201cMental Health Awareness for all Ages,\u201d this year\u2019s summit will take place at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra, bringing together mental health professionals, advocates, caregivers, families, and policy influencers for a day of engaging panel discussions, wellness activities, and community-driven conversations across all life stages.<\/p>\n
