Our Men's Mental Health Day, held on 26 June in celebration of Men's Health Month, was a powerful reminder of the importance of investing in the wellbeing of the men in our SDC community. We were honoured to have Tshepo from Heartlines open the day with an inspiring session on the importance of play - challenging us to embrace joy, stay actively engaged in our lives, continue growing, and use play as a healthy way to relieve stress and build resilience.
The day continued with insightful discussions led by Tshiamo Keikabile on The Modern Man: Balancing Career, Family and Personal Wellbeing, Kenneth (facilitator) on fatherhood, and Richard (ETQA) on the power of peer support and mentorship.
We ended the day the best way possible; with a friendly soccer match, celebrating the bonds we've built and the reminder that mental wellbeing is strengthened through connection, conversation, and community.
A heartfelt thank you to all our speakers and every person who contributed to making the day such a meaningful success. Together, we're creating spaces where men can grow, support one another, and thrive.
