Professors Charity Akotia and Emmanuel Nii-Boye Quarshie donate 12 psychology books to Balme Library, enhancing academic resources on self-harm prevention and women’s experiences in psychology.

Two distinguished professors from the Department of Psychology at the University of Ghana, Prof. Charity Akotia and Prof. Emmanuel Nii-Boye Quarshie, have donated 12 books to the Balme Library to enhance academic resources for students and researchers.

Books Donated and Their Significance

The donation includes:

10 copies of Women in Psychology in Ghana by Prof. Charity Akotia.
2 copies of Self-Harm: A Guide to Management by Prof. Emmanuel Nii-Boye Quarshie.

During the handover ceremony, Prof. Quarshie emphasized that his book was developed to address self-harm and suicide prevention, particularly in low- and middle-income contexts, where awareness and support systems are often limited.

On her part, Prof. Akotia highlighted that her book sheds light on the challenges faced by women in psychology as they balance professional ambitions with family commitments. She expressed optimism that the book would serve as inspiration for young women entering the field.

University Librarian Commends the Gesture

Receiving the books, Acting Librarian, Mr. Samuel Bentil Aggrey, noted that the donation aligns with the University’s fifth Strategic Priority of Sustainable Resource Mobilisation and Stewardship.

He emphasized that such contributions play a critical role in enriching academic resources and expressed hope that more faculty members would follow this example to strengthen the university’s knowledge base.

Enhancing Academic and Mental Health Awareness

This donation highlights the commitment of the University of Ghana’s faculty to knowledge sharing and mental health awareness. The books on self-harm prevention and women’s challenges in academia will serve as essential resources for students, researchers, and mental health practitioners.

With the Balme Library now equipped with these valuable resources, students and faculty members have expanded access to critical psychological literature, further reinforcing the university’s commitment to research and academic excellence.
