Abstract Good governance, which is achieved through the delivery of high-quality public services, is closely linked to the quality of the government’s bureaucracy. This study examined the perceptions and experiences of school leaders and personnel regarding the impact of mental health programs on public service delivery and good governance. The research adopted a qualitative descriptive design. Qualitative data were gathered through validated interview and analyzed using a content analysis approach. The study included 21 school leaders and 19 personnel as participants. The findings suggest that mental health programs contribute significantly to enhancing workplace efficiency, strengthening public service, promoting worker well-being, improving decision-making, increasing work productivity, and fostering a positive work culture. These factors collectively support the realization of good governance. The research outcomes provide valuable insights that could inform local policymaking, particularly in improving public service delivery and promoting good governance among local higher education institutions through the implementation of effective mental health programs.
