摘要：The culture of a people has great implications for the people of that society. The attitude, perceptions, beliefs and values are greatly influenced by their culture, which invariably affect their behaviour. This paper discussed the unique cultural identity and values of Ghana and how relevant they are for the mental health care provision in Ghana. The culturally sensitive psychological assessments and competency interventions were also discussed. Furthermore, the relevance of cultural values, the Ghanaian family systems as well as the interrelatedness in the social network regarding mental health interventions to facilitate healthcare have been emphasized.
