As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, the conversation must not end.

This month, millions of people around the world have spoken about mental health, shared experiences, and advocated for greater awareness. As we reflect on the importance of mental wellbeing, let us not forget our men.

Across Africa and beyond, many boys are raised with messages such as “be strong,” “don't cry,” and “handle it yourself.” Over time, these expectations can make it difficult for men to express their emotions, seek support, or prioritise their mental health. The result is that many carry stress, trauma, loneliness, financial pressures, and emotional pain in silence.

Research consistently shows that men are less likely to seek professional help for mental health challenges, often due to stigma, societal expectations, and fear of being perceived as weak. Yet seeking help is not weakness it is courage. Speaking up is not weakness it is strength. Choosing healing is not weakness it is self-preservation.

To every man reading this: your mental health matters. Your feelings are valid. Your struggles deserve attention. And it is okay to ask for help.

As Mental Health Awareness Month draws to an end, let us commit to checking on the men in our lives not just this month, but every month. A simple conversation, a listening ear, or a genuine check-in can make a difference.

Check on your brother.
Check on your friend.
Check on your son.
Check on yourself.

Together, let us build a culture where men are supported, heard, and empowered to prioritise their mental wellbeing.

The Founder of the Edith Boateng Foundation Siameh Annoh Walter participated in the FTF Changemakers Dialogues 2026, held at the Residence of the Ambassador of Switzerland to Ghana, Simone Giger.

The gathering brought together young leaders, practitioners, and change-makers committed to advancing dialogue on governance, development, and social impact. The exchanges throughout the programme reaffirmed the value of collaboration and youth-led innovation in addressing complex societal challenges.

A particularly defining moment during the panel discussion came from Dr. Sangu Delle, who spoke candidly about a period in his life marked by a mental health crisis following a difficult business experience. His openness contributed meaningfully to ongoing efforts to normalize mental health conversations within leadership spaces.

This experience strongly aligns with the mission of the Edith Boateng Foundation, which prioritizes mental health advocacy, youth empowerment, and the creation of safe spaces where individuals especially young men can speak openly about their well-being and seeking help either from friends or professionals without stigma or fear.

Participation in such platforms reinforces the Foundation’s continued commitment to promoting mental health awareness and strengthening conversations around leadership and wellbeing.

Gratitude is extended to the organizers of the FTF Changemakers Dialogues 2026 for convening a space that encourages reflection, honesty, and collaboration among emerging leaders.

Introducing the Edith Boateng Foundation (EBF)

Mental health is not just a personal struggle. In Ghana today, it is a family issue, a community issue, and a rising security concern especially for young men who are expected to stay silent even when they’re breaking inside.

The Edith Boateng Foundation exists to change this narrative.

What We Do

✔ Empower young men to speak up and seek help
✔ Provide safe spaces for support, mentorship & counseling
✔ Promote mental health literacy in schools and campuses
✔ Challenge harmful cultural norms around masculinity
✔ Advocate for mental health as a national development and security priority

Our Vision

A Ghana where emotional well-being is normal, support is accessible, and young men lead with stability and purpose.

This is an initiative and a movement for stronger men, stronger families, and a safer Ghana.
