Goals

  • To ensure that all people with mental illness including people with past experiences of mental illness are supported by the association.
  • Forty Lives co-operates with like-minded associations and bodies and with the Government of Ghana to improve the wellbeing of mental health patients
  • Forty Lives eventually becomes a membership association involving sufferers, survivors (and friends of the same) of mental illness. All will see to the welfare and common good of all members and sufferers across the country and work towards addressing some of the issues that confront them locally and nationally.
