We celebrate International Nelson Mandela Day on Sunday 18 July and throughout July to honour Nelson Mandela’s 67-year struggle for human rights and social justice. We invite you to join Cape Mental Health by serving our communities in one of the following ways.

Given the nature of this pandemic, increased levels of anxiety and fear are therefore not surprising. The national lockdown has seen adverse effects take a toll on our global society leading to increased pressures on the well-being of our communities.

Baseline research has proven that the current pandemic is affecting the mental well-being of our global population. Researchers warn that the effects are likely to remain long after the pandemic has been addressed.

It is imperative that while rebuilding our society we include persons with psychosocial disability to ensure their inclusion and representation. This will remove barriers and lessen their negative impact on the rights of persons with psychosocial disability.

The theme “See me, hear me, include me: The impact of COVID-19 on persons with psychosocial disability” aims to highlight the challenges affecting persons living with psychosocial disability and advocates for greater awareness on how we can include this marginalised group.

July is Psychosocial Disability Awareness Month and this year our focus is on the visibility and inclusion of people living with psychosocial disability as we shape a ‘new normal’ amid the global pandemic.

Join the World Federation for Mental Health's Gender-based Violence & Women's Mental Health during COVID-19 webinar on Thursday 15 July 2021. We look forward to engaging with you on this important discussion. @WFMH_Official
