SMART Africa-Ghana is a pilot study that tests the effectiveness of the Multiple Family Group (MFG) Intervention amongst approximately 180 children and their caregivers in northern Ghana. Currently, the team is completing the six-month follow up for the control school, which received mental health literature. The school where the MFG sessions were facilitated by School Health Education Program (SHEPS) workers, recently had their 16-week follow-up and are preparing for the six-month follow-up that will be concluded in May. Families greatly appreciated the intervention and were excited to have been part of these groups. In the second school, where MFG is delivered by Parent Peers, the sessions are going well and the attendance has been strong. Thanks to the team in Ghana for their wonderful work and for keeping us moving ahead smoothly!
