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

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 #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

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

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

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

As we commemorate the #DayOfReconciliation, it is important to remember that #WhatHappenedToUsMatters and we need to heal our unresolved collective and historical trauma to truly reconcile our nation.

OPINION | Covid-19 has impacted school pupils' mental health and performance, and the matric results are indicative of this. Our CEO Nomfundo Mogapi says this year's matric class needs mental support if we are to see them mirror the pre-pandemic 2019 pass rate. bit.ly/3rAHr9C

Your mental health matters. Catch our CEO Nomfundo Mogapi at the top of the hour on POWER 98.7 talking about the state of mental health emergency in South Africa.

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.

Covid-19 has exacerbated South Africa's unresolved trauma and adversely affected what Amnesty International calls South Africa's "broken and unequal education system." #MentalMatters

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

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.

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

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.
