Our Mental Health is an online resource focused on shattering the stigmas that come with mental health disorders and providing information on how to cope with them. Through advice and insights from healthcare professionals, and stories from people living with mental disorders, this space will provide credible lifestyle education, information and treatment options.
Our vision
To create a South Africa where the mental wellbeing of individuals is valued, appreciated and cared for.

- people living with mental disorders should be treated with dignity, respect and equality.
- everyone is worthy of belonging in society.
- people living with mental disorders must be given opportunities.
- those with mental disorders should be given the support they need to live a fulfilled life.
- people with mental disorders should be given information and hope.
