Did you know that there are 23 known cases of suicide in South Africa every day, and for every person that commits suicide, 10 have attempted it?
In this episode of the Just for a change podcast, host Luvuyo Maseko and this episode’s guests look at the mental health and wellbeing issues facing the youth of our country.
In the face of the pandemic and their everyday struggles, how do we combat depression, anxiety and behavioural disorders in young people? What role does psychosocial development play in this and why is a systems lens so important? We ask these pertinent questions and chat to some inspiring change makers who are bringing hope in the face of these complex challenges.
Vanishaa Gordhan from the South African Depression and Anxiety Group, Scott Sloan from the School of Hard knocks, Kentse Radebe from DG Murray Trust and Amanda van der Vyver from Community Keepers are a few of the voices you’ll hear in this not-to-be-missed episode.
