As many as 450 million people worldwide suffer from mental or brain disorders. We are working to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and support those affected across Ghana and beyond.
What We Do
Despite the high rate of psychological disorders, there is little being done to raise awareness or address the discrimination and stigma. The Beautiful Mind and Wellness Organization (BMWO) was established to change this.
No amount is too small to further the cause of mental health awareness and support.
Join our efforts to help raise awareness and end the stigma around mental health.
Raise funds and rally your community to support mental health initiatives.
Our Story
Founded by Eric (Ricky) Parbie, a Case Manager in California's behavioral health system, the Beautiful Mind and Wellness Organization bridges two continents in the fight for mental health awareness.
What began as a personal mission to address the stigma and lack of resources for mental health in Ghana has grown into an organization that provides direct support to psychiatric hospitals, raises awareness in communities, and advocates for policy change. Every year, BMWO delivers essential supplies to facilities like Ankaful Hospital while running awareness campaigns that reach thousands.
