Who designed the mental health services in your co Who designed the mental health services in your community? And did anyone ask the people using them? 
In South Africa, fewer than 1 in 10 people who need mental health care get it. 

This October, we're making the case for a simple fix: put lived experience at the table. Partner with us to build it.

New York, UNGA81. Still processing what I witnesse New York, UNGA81. Still processing what I witnessed last week. 🌍

For the first time, mental health took centre stage in the UN General Assembly's health agenda. World leaders adopted a landmark joint declaration on NCDs and Mental Health, together, for the first time ever.

Why it matters: 
🔹 1 billion+ people live with a mental health condition 
🔹 Only 9% with depression, and 40% with psychosis, receive care 
🔹 2.6 billion young people are navigating insecurity, conflict, climate anxiety and AI-driven pressure

New 2030 targets include 150 million more people with access to mental health care, alongside care integrated into primary healthcare, community-based support beyond hospital walls, youth and suicide prevention as standalone priorities, and people with lived experience leading design and delivery.

Reading this declaration felt like reading Heal SA's blueprint. Our community-based, peer-led, lived-experience model is exactly what the world is now endorsing. The global direction has finally caught up with what communities have always known.

From awareness to access. That's where we go next. 💚

One highlight of the week: reconnecting with my former boss and mentor, Prof Farley Cleghorn. Thank you for believing in me before I fully believed in myself. 🙏

The declaration is words. What we build in our communities is what makes them real.

Founder and CEO of Heal SA, Mpadi Makgalo

We don't heal alone. We don't need to hide alone e We don't heal alone. We don't need to hide alone either. Substance use touches the whole circle: the person, the family, the street. So does healing. If you're carrying this, or watching someone you love carry it, there's a seat for you here.
