Dubbed "We-Matter Project” the 33-month project is being financed by Ghana Somubi Dwumadie (Ghana Participation Programme), a four-year disability programme, with a specific focus on mental health at a cost of GHC1.65 million. She said it would also help increase the use of positive disability and mental health language in the two regions and improve enforcement of Ghana's Disability and Mental health policies and laws by duty-bearers. He said societal barriers were major factors militating against the progress of PWDs, including people with mental health conditions, therefore, there was the need for behavioural change. Mr Krakani called on all and sundry to support the project to help address stigma and discrimination against PWDs, including people with mental health conditions and also promote their rights. However, he said, the issue of negative attitude, stigma and discrimination against PWDs including people with mental health conditions persisted, thus the need for stringent measures to curb it.
