BRIEF ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
The organisational development concept was conceived on the 15/5/16. This was with the aim to talk to people about mental health and the need to understand health beyond the physical concept of health that most Ghanaians experience (holistic health). As a health professional I have noticed that that the Ghanaian health system had not received much investment into mental health leaving many to understand health as only physical health. Preparing to begin my studies as a student of clinical health psychology in one of the universities in Ghana, I felt challenged after several readings and listening to news across the country to put to use the understanding of health in totality as it is captured in the world health organisation’s (WHO) definition of health in 1948.
