ANNOUNCING OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS
“The Global youth mental health awareness (GYMHA) Incorporated Vision was developed in response to the growing need to communicate and engage with professionals and the youth of the community, to tackle the issues associated with Youth Mental Health, and the stigma associated with those individuals who may seek aid. We are excited to welcome our new 10 board of directors who will help us accomplish our goal in creating a world where everyone, everywhere, can turn to someone who is able to support their mental health when needed”.
We are really thrilled to have them as a valuable member of GYMHAI family and we anticipate that their skills and experiences will be an asset to GYMHAI.
We look forward to working with all the new board members for the advancement of GYMHAI globally.
Thank you to all our members who attended the AGM and participated in the election. And great thanks to all our outgoing board members for their invaluable contributions over the years.
Our special thanks go to Dr. Dozie for facilitating the election, and Abbey Akinbiyi for her outstanding speech on Board leadership and Human development.
