Today, on the #InternationalDayOfTheGirlChild, let's take a moment to celebrate and recognise the incredible power and potential of every girl child out there. She must be heard, valued, and celebrated👏👏👏 #InternationalDayOfTheGirl #Investearly #0to6matters

Today is World Mental Health Day. The theme this year is - 'Mental Health is a Universal Human Right'. In South Africa, where only 1 in 10 people with a Mental Illness have access to treatment, the theme couldn't be more relevant. ⬇️ 💚

For over 20 years, Ububele has been providing high-quality mental health care and support to the community of Alexandra. We would be honored to share our experiences and lessons as South Africa finds its way to the realization of this vital human right. #worldmentalhealthday

We're joining the international community in commemorating World Mental Health Day under the theme of Mental health is a universal human right. We couldn't agree more that barriers to mental health care access should be eliminated & All should have access to this important care

We were invited by the Wits School of Public Health to discuss research priorities on adolescent mental health. Our Research, Development & Training Lead, Dr. Nicki Dawson, participated in the discussion & we're honoured to be part of this very important research @CARTAfrica
