About this listen

According to the WHO close to 1 billion people are currently living with a mental disorder, 3 million die annually from harmful alcohol use and 1 person loses their life every 40 seconds from suicide. Much more action needs to be taken to improve regardless of mental illness.

2020 is especially significant as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic. Especially in South Africa, we are the 10th most-affected nation globally. Beyond the physical impact, the mental and emotional fallout had been tremendous. The pandemic has had psychological as well as economic consequences. The way we work, study and live have been transformed forever.
