About TROSAC

Championing Youth Mental Health & Substance Prevention in Ghana

TROSAC is a youth-focused advocacy and stakeholder engagement platform dedicated to addressing substance abuse and mental health challenges in Ghana.

Our core goal is to empower young people to make informed decisions, build psychological resilience, dismantle destructive stigmas, and strengthen community prevention strategies across educational institutions, faith groups, and municipal townships.

Through sustained collaboration with local authorities such as the Asuogyaman Municipal Assembly and the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), TROSAC translates awareness into practical policy interventions, school-based peer support circles, and verifiable referral networks.
