#WhatHappenedToUsMatters. There are a lot of explanations about the violence in our country but one key explanation that we tend to neglect is the unresolved trauma we have. This trauma is historical, collective and is embedded in the cultures of our institutions.

Supporting our teachers and students should not be regarded as a luxury if we want to build a mentally resilient education system. It is a necessity.

It will take a deliberate effort from the Department of Basic Education parents and the development sector to invest in mental resilience.

Even before the pandemic, South Africans lived in an anxiety-inducing society. Our society is marred by issues such as murder, hijacking, rape, and poverty, to name a few. Children are not spared from the effects of the stressful society we live in.

Mental resilience – the ability to withstand hardship – gives matriculants the edge to bounce back during heightened anxiety and worry that comes with writing exams in a context of high stress and anxiety. #MentalWellness

Covid-19 has weighed heavily on school pupils' mental health and performance, and the matric results are indicative of this. This year's matric class needs mental support if we are to see them mirror the pre-pandemic 2019 pass rate.

Supporting our teachers and students is not a luxury, it is a necessity. If we want to have better matric results in future, we need to go beyond academic education. #MentalMatters #MatricResults

There is more to exam success than just intellectual capability. It is also about mental resilience. Mental resilience helps students bounce back during heightened anxiety and worry that comes with exams. #MentalMatters #MatricResults

Since much of South Africa's trauma is collective, the key vehicle for facilitating healing lies with our leaders. #DayOfReconciliation

Healing cannot be separated from people's lived experiences. Sincere redress requires political, socioeconomic, and trauma-informed solutions that prioritise mental wellness. #MentalMatters #DayOfReconciliation #WhatHappenedToUsMatters

So often through commemorations such as #DayOfReconciliation, we come together and reflect on our dressed wounds. We believe that South African society has not truly healed from historical markers such as Apartheid. #MentalMatters #WhatHappenedToUsMatters

As #16DaysOfActivism come to an end, it is important we constantly infuse a trauma lens and mental wellness approach to sexual and gender-based violence in South Africa. #16Days #MentalMatters

A broken, traumatised boy exists behind a GBV perpetrator. Unless we find a way to reach those young boys and facilitate healing, we are not going to succeed in our fight to #EndGBV. #16Days #MentalMatters

As the Centre for Mental Wellness we recognise the importance of healing our trauma as South Africans. As we work to hold gender-based violence perpetrators to account, our outcomes also need to help survivors heal. #16Days #MentalMatters

If we don’t deal with our trauma, our children will inherit it from us because trauma is intergenerational, says our Founder and CEO @Nmogap. #WhatHappenedToUsMatters #MentalMatters
