International Health Humanities Network Membership
Ama de-Graft Aikins
I am a social psychologist. My research focuses on lived experiences of chronic physical and mental illness, and on systems of care in African contexts. My current project aims to develop health competence in an urban poor Ghanaian community through community participatory methods. I have a strong interest in the arts and in health humanities and I have explored using creative arts as a tool for mental health education in Ghana.
