The Ghana Red Cross Society (GRCS) joined other National Societies (NS) and partners in the 2nd Research Carnival on Mental Health & Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), held in Nairobi, Kenya 23-25 September 2026.
The Carnival with the theme “Reimagining Wellbeing”, was organized by the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement MHPSS Hub, Kenya Red Cross, British Red Cross, and Swiss Red Cross societies, in partnership with Protect Humanitarians and McGill University.
The GRCS, head of training Mr. Ernest P. Nyame-Annan, with the Zambian Red Cross Society counterpart, Ms. Serah Kalumbilo, presented and had a penal discussion on a comparative lesson of MHPSS interventions across sectors of the two national societies.
They highlighted the progress of PSS activities and how important MHPSS must be institutionalized and integrated in all programmes of the national societies. They stressed that MHPSS should not be a stand-alone but integrated and mainstreamed across all sectors.
They demonstrated how each NS is doing in the communities with health education (COVID-19, Cholera, Mpox etc.), first aid training and disaster risk activities (Flood operations) by the outstanding volunteers and staff.
It was also noted that self-care for staff and volunteers is very crucial for effective humanitarian actions. Therefore, the need to take critical care of the mental health of humanitarian workers.
Both NS were grateful for the continuous support by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, especially on their recent MHPSS framework development progress.
Let’s Protect Our Humanitarians, the Drivers of Saving Lives.

The exhibition attracted interest from attendees, with participants expressing interest in joining the Ghana Red Cross Society-Greater Accra Region as volunteers.
Other organisations present included the Ghana Police Service, Soko Ariel Robotics, Med Paddy and Inspector AI. Their participation contributed to the exchange of ideas and demonstrations of innovative approaches to security and safety.
The conference provided the Ghana Red Cross Society with an opportunity to increase public awareness of first aid and emergency response, showcase its humanitarian services, and engage directly with participants. The CPR demonstrations offered practical insight into the importance of responding appropriately to medical emergencies.
The interest expressed by some attendees in volunteering was a positive outcome and presents an opportunity for the Society to strengthen its volunteer base. The event also encouraged networking and knowledge-sharing among participating organisations.
