Surround yourself with people who lift you up. With the right support, you can go far. Send this to your personal cheer squad — and remind them they’re your safe space. #SurfTherapy #mentalhealthawareness

Take 5 Breathing is a simple technique that taps into your body’s natural “relaxation switch.” Inhale for 4… exhale for 6… repeat 4 times. When your body settles, your mind follows. Just a few breaths can shift you into a moment of clarity, focus, and ease. #SurfTherapy

Today is Heritage Day in South Africa. For us, Heritage Day is a reminder that belonging matters — and that every child deserves to feel proud of who they are, supported in where they come from, and hopeful for where they are going. #HeritageDay
