Everyone Deserves Mental Wellness
Mental wellness is a fundamental human right. Just as physical health care is essential, mental health care should be accessible to all, without stigma or discrimination. Unfortunately, many communities still lack access to mental health services, making it harder for people to live fulfilling lives.
The Mental Health Care Divide
According to the World Health Organisation, up to 85% of people who suffer from mental health issues in low-and-middle income countries do not receive any care. In South Africa, less than 5% of the national health budget is allocated to mental health services, leaving millions without the help they need.
Unique Struggles of Women and Children
Women and children are disproportionately affected by the lack of mental health services. Women are more likely to face trauma due to gender-based violence and discrimination, while children in low-income areas often face neglect, abuse and a lack of support. Without proper mental health care, these challenges can have lasting effects on their well-being.
Bridging the Mental Health Gap
Thankfully, there are organisations working tirelessly to close the mental health care gap. Tafara Wellness Initiative and SAVE A WOMAN NGO provide support through counselling, crisis intervention and mental health education. Together, we can ensure that everyone, regardless of their background, has access to the mental health care they deserve.
