🧠 Your Mental Health Matters

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. If you're a creative, this conversation is for you.

As musicians and creatives, we rely on our minds to write, compose, perform, and innovate. When our mental well-being declines, our creativity, productivity, and overall quality of life can suffer. Taking time to reset, heal, and grow is not a luxury—it is essential.

Join KUMISA , in partnership with DCMH, for an insightful Mental Health Dialogue where we will discuss the importance of mental wellness in the creative industry and explore practical ways to maintain a healthy mind.

📅 Date: 30 July 2026
📍 Venue: DCMH Offices, 3 Hatton Avenue, Sherwood, Durban 4091

Seats are limited, so please RSVP using the contact details provided on the event poster to secure your place.

Together, let's break the stigma and build a healthier, stronger creative community.
