Speaker calls for awareness on spiritual, mental health and social stigmatisation in communities
Page Content
The Speaker of Council, Cllr Nonceba Molwele, last night discussed spiritual, mental and social stigmatisation on her weekly talk show known as Talk with the Speaker of Council that takes place on Wednesdays.
It has become very important that communities are constantly made aware of this illness which often has tragic consequences because of lack of understanding of what is it, symptoms it manifests and the support needed for the person.
Above all, Madam Speaker hopes to create acceptance so that those who live with this illness feel supported. It is for this reason that I want to probe further around this subject and in particular bring in the element of spirituality as it relates to mental health.
