💙 Building skills. Strengthening care. Making a difference.

The Road Accident Fund (RAF) initiative aims to strengthen support for claimants affected by road accidents. As part of this initiative, NICDAM facilitated caregiver training on 13 October at Manhattan Hotel, followed by a further training session today in KwaMhlanga.

The training focused on equipping caregivers with the knowledge and skills needed to provide home-based care and support to RAF claimants as they navigate their recovery journey.🙌🏾

With road traffic injuries affecting individuals, families and communities, trained caregivers play an important role in supporting claimants and promoting their wellbeing.

Through this initiative, NICDAM continues to contribute to capacity building and the delivery of compassionate, quality care to those who need it. 🤝

💙 Sharing knowledge. Strengthening support. Making a difference. 🤝✨

NICDAM is proud to recognise Dr Ilse Gravett, who was invited to speak at the Tshwane District Health Services Mental Health Webinar on 9 October 2026. 🎤

OUR ROADS SHOULD FEEL SAFE. 🧡

Our thoughts are with the Kempton Park community and all those affected by the heartbreaking events of this week.

For so many women, running is freedom. It is strength. It is therapy. It is a place to breathe.

No woman should have to choose between her passion and her safety.

⭐️ So, ladies, run together, stay aware, share your location and look out for one another.
⭐️ And to our men: stand beside the women in your community and help create spaces where they feel safe.

Run safe. Run together. Look out for each other. 🙌🏿

Learning. Sharing. Empowering. 🧡

Another VEP training group has completed their sessions, with participants working through the Victim Empowerment Programme and sharing their reflections on what they have learned.

From understanding GBVF and the National Strategic Plan, to survivor support, prevention and community empowerment, the training creates space for meaningful discussion, learning and knowledge sharing.

We love hearing directly from participants about how the training has expanded their knowledge and how they plan to use what they’ve learned in their communities.

Knowledge creates awareness. Awareness inspires action. 🙌🏿
