Values that build mental health

Despite many of us becoming more open to the idea of sharing our personal experiences, there’s still a stigma surrounding mental health. One way we continue to perpetuate the stigma around mental health is through how we speak about those who have mental health  conditions.

Steven Wetton from Give a Child a Family,  Oak Foundation's safeguarding partner in Southern Africa, recently ran a safeguarding session at Heartlines to help us continue ensuring the safety and well-being of the people we work with.

We all know how it feels to be lied to and all the negative emotions that come with being on the receiving end of lies, omissions or half-baked truths. But, do we really need to be honest in friendships?

Prioritising your mental health can be a critical act of self-care and preservation, because when you are happy, healthy and content you are able to move through life and engage with those around you as the best version of yourself.

Easter is here! As with most holidays and celebrations, it is festive and joyful, but it can also be a time of high stress, filled with its own expectations and demands.
