JOHANNESBURG
Our event was held at the Jakaranda Kinderhuis together with The South African Depression and Anxiety Group.
We started off with and art therapy workshop that was run by two talented Art Therapists, Gabriela Falkson and Alexandra Khazin. This workshop was designed to create awareness around mental health and the challenges that our youth face as well as to provide healthier coping mechanisms.
This was followed by a brilliant presentation and discussion by Jay Stamos and Divashnee Pillay from NPower and the South African Depression and Anxiety Group.
