Bel‑Aqua Mineral Water is stepping up its mental‑wellness campaign as the company prepares to celebrate its 15th anniversary on October 10. The move comes after a Saturday health walk that linked Ayi Mensah to Peduase, drawing individuals and corporate teams for exercise and other activities.
After the walk, participants gathered at Peduase Methodist School where they enjoyed games, health screening and had access to psychologists and psychiatrists. The event was part of a broader strategy to bring mental‑health support directly into workplaces across Ghana.
Chris Addo Sarkodie, Head of Marketing at Bel‑Aqua, said the company is moving beyond its annual initiatives by taking psychologists and psychiatrists into corporate settings.
"So now moving to corporate Ghana, where we are now taking and bearing the cost of psychologists and psychiatrists into companies where they are meeting with their staff and all that," he explained.
He added that the health walk is a recurring activity designed to give people a chance to de‑stress and have conversations with mental‑health professionals.
"And now another leg of it is where we are organising this health walk every year to ensure that people can de‑stress and have these conversations because there are psychologists around," he said.
Bel‑Aqua aims to normalise mental‑health discussions and provide a platform for employees to voice their challenges. The company is also working toward launching a helpline that will connect Ghanaians to professional support.
"So very soon, we’ll be launching our helpline in conjunction with some of the mental health facilities. I don’t want to put their name out, but this is something that, from management level, we are very keen on in supporting Ghanaians,"Sarkodie noted.
The helpline will be announced once arrangements with mental‑health facilities are finalised. Bel‑Aqua Mineral Water will mark its 15th anniversary on October 10, with the mental‑wellbeing campaign forming part of its activities around the milestone.
As the company continues to expand its outreach, stakeholders will be watching to see how the helpline launch unfolds and whether the initiative sets a new standard for corporate mental‑health support in Ghana.
