The Africa Health Promotion Organisation (AfricaHPO), in partnership with the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service, has launched an initiative to combat bullying and promote mental health in Senior High Schools (SHSs).
Supported by Grand Challenges Canada, the programme was launched at the Northern School of Business SHS in Tamale and will be rolled out in 12 SHSs across the Northern, Bono East, Ashanti, Greater Accra, Volta, and Oti Regions.
The initiative adopts a holistic approach to addressing bullying and mental health challenges, emphasising empathy, peer advocacy, and decentralised mental health support.
It will involve teachers, students, and non-teaching staff in building safe and supportive school environments.
