The Mental Health Index provides a holistic assessment of mental well-being by combining important factors like the frequency of mental health illnesses, access to resources, societal stigma, and psychological well-being indicators. The index offers insightful data for well-informed decision-making using a robust methodology incorporating surveys and data analytics.
The index directs us toward a culture that values and supports mental well-being by acting as a compass for understanding mental health issues and demystifying the stigma around mental health. It provides a comprehensive picture of mental health, customized interventions, and advocacy efforts which applies in public health, healthcare, workplace wellness, social interactions and education in Ghana.
