‘We live in challenging and difficult times. Many economic and dire social conditions impact on our mental well-being as we navigate storms and adverse conditions,’ Dr Ingrid Daniels, CEO of Cape Mental Health told Bizcommunity.
Cape Mental Health is a 110-year-old non-profit that provides services to persons living with intellectual disability, psychosocial disabilities, and those coping with various mental health conditions, including children.
‘It is in these times that we direct our sails to provide mental health interventions that invest in lives and give back hope, build and strengthen resilience and empower individuals and communities,’ Daniels adds.
‘Despite the fragility of the string, it allows the kite to fly higher and higher, rising above the circumstances that life throws our way. #HopeOnAString brings a message of hope, potential and encouragement.’
