World Mental Health Day. There is no health without mental health

05/10/2026

October is World Mental Health Awareness Month. This year’s theme, “Lived Experiences Heard,” is something we feel particularly passionate about at Good Hope Psychological Service.
Every person’s experience matters, and creating spaces where people feel heard, understood, and valued is an important part of what we do.
Keep an eye out for more posts throughout the month as we share some of these experiences with you.

While many women across South Africa carry heavy and painful emotions right now, Heritage Day invites us to hold that grief alongside our gratitude for our cultures, languages, and stories that shape us.

While we cannot control everything that happens in our country or in the world, we have influence, and we can choose where we place our attention, how we treat one another, and how we act in the face of harm.

As we celebrate the beauty of our diverse heritage, we can also stand with those who have been harmed, and acknowledge the work we still have to do to prevent further harm.

As we navigate holding these two things, may we notice the helpers, the acts of kindness, and the moments of connection that remind us we are not alone. And may we keep choosing hope while committing to concrete care, solidarity, and action for a safer future.

As we move into the final stretch of the year, take a moment to check in with yourself.

You’ve poured so much into this year, and it’s only natural to feel your energy running low. But before you push yourself to the point of exhaustion, pause and ask yourself: What do I need right now? More rest? More space? More support? Or simply permission to slow down?

Listening to yourself isn’t selfish; it’s how you protect your energy, honour your needs, and keep going in a way that feels sustainable. /

Soos ons die laaste deel van die jaar ingaan, vat ’n oomblik om by jouself in te check.

Jy het hierdie jaar soveel van jouself gegee, en dis heeltemal normaal om te voel dat jou energie min raak. Maar voor jy jouself tot op die punt van uitbranding druk, stop ’n bietjie en vra jouself: Wat het ek nou nodig? Meer rus? ’n Bietjie meer spasie? Meer ondersteuning? Of dalk net toestemming om ’n bietjie stadiger te gaan?

Om na jouself te luister is nie selfsugtig nie. Dis hoe jy jou energie beskerm, aandag gee aan wat jy nodig het, en aanhou sonder om jouself uit te brand.

🌱 A season of growth and new beginnings.

As we welcome spring, we’re reminded that growth can also happen within us. In their story, one of our clients shares how access to free mental health services helped her look within and work through her challenges.

May this new season remind us that, with the right support, positive change is possible.

Ons onderskat soms die invloed van die omgewing op ons geestesgesondheid. Gee vir jouself en die mense rondom jou ekstra sorg in hierdie winter /

We sometimes underestimate the impact of our surroundings on our mental health. Take extra care of yourself and the people around you this winter.

Hierdie Mandeladag, onthou: ons gemeenskappe se welstand lê in almal se hande. Ons moedig jou aan om 67 minute af te staan vir 'n eenvoudige daad van omgee in jou gemeenskap. Om te gee, met mense kontak maak en iets te doen, is ook goed vir ons geestelike welstand. Jou daad van omgee hoef nie groot of Instagram-waardig te wees nie. Dis net mense wat mense help – een daad van vriendelikheid op 'n slag. /

This Mandela Day, remember: the well-being of our communities is in the hands of many. We encourage you to spend 67 mins doing a simple act of kindness within your community. Giving, connecting and taking action are good for our mental well-being too. Your simple act of kindness doesn't have to grand or Instagram-worthy. Just people helping people, one act of kindness at a time.
