Board Chairperson

Dr. Ngozi Okose

In my role as Board Chairperson of Nigerian Mental Health Practitioners USA Inc., I bring my expertise as a licensed psychotherapist to guide the strategic direction of our organization. My journey in the mental health field has equipped me with the skills and knowledge necessary to address the unique challenges faced by individuals with mental illness, particularly in Nigeria. I am deeply committed to using my platform to advocate for better mental healthcare and to help reduce the stigma that often prevents people from seeking the help they need.

My responsibilities as Board Chairperson include overseeing the development and implementation of programs that align with our mission to improve mental healthcare in Nigeria. I work closely with the other board members and the executive team to ensure that our initiatives are effective and sustainable. One of the key areas I focus on is our stigma awareness program, which is designed to educate the public and foster a more accepting and supportive environment for those affected by mental health issues.

Being a part of NMHPUSA Inc. allows me to contribute to something much larger than myself. It gives me the opportunity to use my professional expertise to make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals who are often overlooked or marginalized. I believe that through our collective efforts, we can create a future where mental illness is treated with the same seriousness and compassion as physical illness. I invite those who are passionate about mental health to join me in this important work by supporting our programs and spreading the word about our mission.
