#HealthOnMonday: Support group Therapy
from The View Point Hosted by SAfm
#HealthOnMonday: Support group Therapy Guest: MS Krystle Kemp, SADAG Support Group Co-ordinator Sadag, the South African Depression and Anxiety Group, is celebrating their third annual Support Group Awareness Week from today until Friday the 27th of January 2023. Their Support Group offering is very close to the work that they do, as Support Groups were the core of where it all began for SADAG. SADAG Founder and Director, Zane Wilson, following her own experience with years of undiagnosed panic disorder, realised how stigmatised Mental Illness was in South Africa and how little help and support was available to sufferers and loved ones. She decided to start a Support Group, which then became what is now known as the “The South African Depression and Anxiety Group”. Fast forward 28 years, and now SADAG proudly hosts over 160 Free Support Groups nationwide. Support groups have become popular in the past couple of decades and the focus has shifted from mental illness alone. The group dynamic often helps people feel supported as they move forward. Whether your goal is growth, improving social skills, or something else, group therapy could help you achieve it.
