What We Do

Surviving the Mood

Abena Tay Foundation launch the “Surviving The Mood” campaign to raise awareness and challenge stigma around bipolar disorder in Ghana, promoting education, support, and inclusivity.

The “Surviving The Mood” campaign offers a unique opportunity for organizations and individuals to demonstrate their commitment to the wellbeing of Ghanaians living with mental health by supporting a vital initiative focused on raising awareness, reducing stigma, and promoting access to resources for bipolar disorder.
