Bel-Aqua intensifies mental well-being campaign ahead of 15th anniversary

Bel-Aqua Mineral Water is ramping up its mental wellbeing campaign as the company gears up to commemorate its 15th anniversary on October 10. On Saturday, the company organized a health walk from Ayi Mensah to Peduase, uniting people and corporate teams for exercise and other activities. Following the walk, attendees convened at the Peduase Methodist School for games, health screenings, and consultations with psychologists and psychiatrists.

Chris Addo Sarkodie, Head of Marketing at Bel-Aqua, explains that the company is expanding its efforts beyond traditional anniversary events by directly engaging workers in their places of employment. "We're now taking this initiative to corporate Ghana, where we are bearing the cost of psychologists and psychiatrists to meet with their staff," he states.

Additionally, the company organizes an annual health walk each year to provide opportunities for stress relief and open discussions, facilitated by the presence of mental health professionals.

Sarkodie emphasizes the company's commitment to normalizing conversations around mental health and offering individuals a platform to address the challenges they face. He adds that Bel-Aqua is moving beyond awareness campaigns by working towards establishing a helpline that will connect people to professional support. "Very soon, we'll be launching our helpline in conjunction with some of the mental health facilities," he concludes.
