Empowering Mental Wellness: Wholesome Mind Summit 2025 Launches The Wholesome Mind Workbook

The Wholesome Mind Summit 2025 witnessed the official launch of an inspiring new publication titled “The Wholesome Mind Workbook: Loving, Knowing, Growing Me”, designed to guide individuals toward deeper self-awareness, emotional healing, and holistic wellbeing. The launch formed one of the highlights of the summit, held on Friday, October 10, to mark this year’s World Mental Health Day celebration in Accra.

Unveiled during a moving mid-morning session, the workbook was introduced as a practical tool that bridges the gap between mental health education and lived experience. It aims to help readers explore self-love, emotional intelligence, resilience, and mindfulness through guided reflections and interactive exercises.

Speaking at the launch, representatives of the Wholesome Mind Project described the workbook as “a companion for everyone seeking to reconnect with themselves in a world that often demands constant performance and perfection.”

The team emphasized that the publication reflects the summit’s broader vision of nurturing mental wellbeing as a national priority.

“This workbook is not just a book, it is an invitation to look within, to understand who we are, and to grow through love and knowledge. We want every reader to find healing, hope, and purpose in its pages,” one of the facilitators explained.

The launch ceremony was graced by mental health professionals, educators, policymakers, and advocates who lauded the initiative for offering a culturally sensitive, relatable, and empowering resource for both young people and adults.

Wholesome Mind documentary

A touching documentary highlighting the challenges and triumphs within Ghana’s mental health sector premiered at the Wholesome Mind Summit 2025, leaving many in attendance deeply moved. The film, produced by the Wholesome Mind Project, offered a vivid portrayal of the country’s ongoing efforts to reform psychiatric care and strengthen public awareness about mental health.

The documentary featured firsthand accounts from patients, caregivers, and health professionals, capturing the emotional and psychological realities behind mental illness and recovery. It ended with a stirring emotional appeal for support toward the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), emphasizing the urgent need for improved infrastructure, resources, and community involvement.

Viewers described the film as “powerful,” “authentic,” and “transformative,” praising its ability to humanize mental illness and amplify the voices of those often unheard. The screening concluded with a live fundraising segment, where attendees were encouraged to contribute through mobile money, QR codes, and digital donation platforms.

Organizers noted that proceeds from the appeal would go directly toward improving patient care and expanding access to mental health services across the country.

RJOY

Also, the RJOY Foundation joined forces with the Wholesome Mind Project at this year’s Wholesome Mind Summit to champion an ambitious fundraising drive in support of mental health advocacy and rehabilitation efforts in Ghana.

Delivering a solidarity message during the summit’s afternoon session, representatives from RJOY reaffirmed their commitment to promoting community-based mental health interventions and empowering individuals living with mental illness to rebuild their lives.

RJOY’s collaboration with the summit aligns with its broader mission of driving compassion-led initiatives and mobilizing corporate and individual donors to support mental healthcare. The foundation pledged continuous partnership with the Wholesome Mind Project to sustain advocacy campaigns and ensure that no one is left behind in the national conversation on mental wellbeing.

Corporate Ghana

Meanwhile, Corporate institutions across Ghana have been urged to take a more active role in supporting mental health awareness, treatment, and recovery initiatives. The call was made at the Wholesome Mind Summit 2025, where speakers appealed to the business community to integrate mental health support into their corporate social responsibility (CSR) portfolios.

Speakers emphasized that businesses thrive when their employees and communities are mentally healthy, pointing out that workplace stress, burnout, and emotional fatigue have become major productivity concerns. They encouraged companies to partner with mental health organizations to fund rehabilitation programs, training, and advocacy campaigns.

“Corporate Ghana has the power to make a real difference,” one panelist noted. “Investing in mental health is not charity—it is nation building.”
