TRUE LOVE MENTAL HEALTH MONDAYS

ABOUT

Your safe space to talk about mental health, and gain knowledge from our experts

Many people are shy to talk about mental illness while others fear the stigma and discrimination that go with it. The rest don’t know what it is, and how to deal with it. For this reason, TRUELOVE has planned an event that will let you in on all issues concerning mental health. Join Editor Mbali Soga around a table with a panel of experts as they boldly tackle mental health issues that black women don’t really talk about openly. This is an opportunity for you to join the fight against the stigma of mental health in black communities, and educate yourself in order to have a voice and be heard. You will leave this amazing platform with knowledge on issues such as:

1. Education on mental health;

2. Mental health triggers;

3. Coping mechanisms to use in order to survive;

4. How to break mental health barriers in our homes, workplaces and communities; and

5. How to assist a loved one suffering from the condition.

We’re in this together!
