SADAG (The South African Depression & Anxiety Group)

We all know that children and young adults are carrying very real pressures in their daily lives right now. The quiet pressures of social media, combined with the gap in understanding between generations, are creating a real and urgent crisis for many young people. From mild anxiety to severe mental health struggles that can leave young people feeling overwhelmed and hopeless, these challenges deserve compassion, understanding and action. This is where SADAG, The South African Depression and Anxiety Group, has played such an important role for more than 30 years, offering support, guidance and hope to people facing mental health challenges of all kinds. But this work cannot continue without more financial support, empathy and practical help from all of us. Today I speak to Roshni Parbhoo-Seetha – the Project Manager: Education (SADAG) In this conversation, we explore when and why SADAG began, while also getting to know Roshni and the meaningful work SADAG continues to offer to those who need mental health support. Thanks once again Roshni for this wonderful conversation. I am hoping to reconnect with Roshni soon to learn more about SADAG’s plans for the annual 16 Days of Activism at the end of November, and how we can help address the growing global issue of gender-based violence. My heartfelt thanks to Roshni for sharing her voice and to all of you for listening to Conversations with Jax. Please remember to like and subscribe.
