🕊️ World Mental Health Day 2025 🕊️

Theme: Access to Services: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies

In times of crisis, mental health is often the silent casualty. Stigma, underfunding, and a lack of sustained support continue to prevent millions from receiving the care they need — especially in low-resource settings.

In South Africa, only two organisations currently offer dedicated emergency mental health contacts. This highlights a critical gap that urgently needs attention.

We must give mental health the focus, funding, and resources it deserves — not only during emergencies, but every day. Because behind every statistic is a person, a family, a community in need of hope and support. 💚

👀 is more than just getting your eyes tested — it’s about how you care for them every day!

✨ Take a screen break every hour.
🌙 Use filters or night mode to reduce eye strain.
💧 Remember to blink often — your eyes need moisture too!
💻 Protecting your vision starts with small habits that make a big difference.

Your eyes work hard for you — give them the care they deserve! 💙

In 1925, Helen Keller inspired Lions Clubs to become “Knights of the Blind in the crusade against darkness.”

A century later, Lions around the world continue to answer that call — screening eyes, restoring sight, and empowering those with visual impairments. 👁️

As we celebrate 100 years of Helen Keller’s challenge, Lions are embracing Knights of the Blind 2.0 — a renewed global effort to champion vision for the next century. 🦁

Let’s continue to serve, innovate, and protect the precious gift of sight. 💙

🏏 When passion meets determination, nothing is impossible.

These cricketers remind us that ability is stronger than disability. They are just differently abled ❤️

What many think can’t be done, they do — with courage, skill, and heart. 💛

They don’t just play the game. They redefine it.
They don’t just inspire. They prove that limits exist only in the mind.

Here’s to those who show us that no challenge is too great when you love what you do. 👏🏻

It’s OK not to be OK.

Mental health matters just as much as physical health. There are always signs – changes in mood, withdrawal, hopelessness, or overwhelming stress. Knowing how to identify them can save a life.

👉 What to do:
• Check in with your loved ones.
• Listen without judgement.
• Encourage professional help.
• Share helpline resources.

If you or someone you care about is struggling, please know you are not alone.
📞 Call SADAG 24/7 Helpline: 0800 567 567 or visit 🌐 www.sadag.org

Together, we can break the stigma and bring hope. 💙

Breast Cancer Awareness Month October

🎀 Every Story is Unique. Every Journey Matters. 🎀

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are reminded that breast cancer doesn’t look the same for everyone — and it doesn’t only affect women. Men, too, can be diagnosed.

🎀 Early detection saves lives.
🎀 Take time to self-examine.
🎀 Encourage loved ones — sisters, brothers, friends, parents — to get screened.

Your journey, or the journey of someone you love, is unique and important. Let’s stand together, raise awareness, and take action for healthier tomorrows.
