World Mental Health Day is happening on Monday 10 October.

The theme for this year, as set by the World Federation for Mental Health, is “Making Mental Health And Wellbeing For All A Global Priority”.

This is an opportunity for you to give adequate attention to your mental health.

Without physical health, one may be weak and stagnant yet with the capacity to communicate and take rational decisions. But with a loss of mental health comes emotional and cognitive darkness which renders someone a liability to himself, his family and society.

Examples of mental issues you need to be aware of include: depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, all forms of addiction, social isolation/withdrawal, stress, intrusive negative thoughts, hearing voices, anger, drug and alcohol abuse, hallucination, extreme mood swings, etc.

With everything that is happening around us right now, it can be easy to feel lost and powerless, but there is an opportunity for you to access first aid in mental health.

The Mental Health Sector of The African Network of Professional Counsellors is providing a three-day free mental health first aid for everyone.

Date: 10 – 13 October 2022

If you are interested, please register by filling out this form and choose a counsellor of your choice. You will be contacted and an initial free session would be arranged with you.
