GTBank strengthens CSR with Autism Awareness Initiative

GTBank Ghana is deepening its corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts through its annual Autism Awareness Workshop, a programme designed to improve understanding and support for children living with autism. The four-day event, which focuses on both health and education, brings together parents, teachers, caregivers, and health professionals to foster community awareness and practical solutions.

Divisional Head for Corporate Communication and Experience at GT Bank, Agnes Owusu-Afram, said the initiative reflects the bank’s long-term commitment to the communities where it operates.

“Autism touches on both health and education, two areas we are deeply invested in. This workshop is designed to give parents and teachers the tools to better understand children with autism, identify their strengths, and choose the right educational and behavioural interventions,” she noted.

The workshop, which hosted over 800 participants and was streamed live across social media platforms, featured expert-led sessions, panel discussions, and one-on-one consultations with 28 specialists in behavioral analysis, health, and education. According to Madam Owusu-Afram, feedbacks from past events have shown significant impact, with teachers and parents now better equipped to handle children who do not conform to traditional learning patterns.

“Teachers now have a better understanding of how to engage children with autism, while parents are learning to identify what their children can and cannot do. This helps them choose the right schools and educational paths,” she added.

The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has commended GTBank for its efforts, calling the initiative a model for corporate social responsibility. Director of Family Health, Dr. Kennedy Brightson, praised the programme for bringing autism awareness into the national conversation.

“No family is immune from autism, and these children can excel if given the chance. GTBank’s initiative is an excellent example of corporate social responsibility. If more organizations follow this path, it will ease the burden on public health bodies that are already overstretched,” Dr. Brightson stated.

Dr. Brightson also highlighted that the Ghana Health Service is empowering nurses and community health workers to provide care and support at the community level, ensuring that children with autism receive proper attention.

The workshop’s comprehensive structure, combining knowledge-sharing, practical training, and direct consultations, underscores GT Bank’s goal of building a more inclusive society. Owusu-Afram emphasised that CSR initiatives like this are not just about giving back but about addressing real community needs.

“Wherever we operate, we owe it to the community to address its needs. Autism awareness is one of those needs,” she concluded.

With strong backing from government representatives and enthusiastic community participation, the Autism Awareness Workshop continues to shape a future where children with autism are recognized, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
