Akwaba! (This means Welcome in Akan, a Ghanaian language). I'm Petrina Adusei, a licensed psychotherapist in Accra, Ghana. I'm here to talk to my fellow Africans (by citizenship & at heart) about our mental health. We will explore the impact of influences such as culture, family values and more, on our mental health. I will also share helpful tools to improve our mental health and thrive as Africans by guiding us to create A New African Mind.
