Mental illness awareness campaign. Promoting mental health. Stop the stigma

Ahead of the World Mental Health Day on October 10, Workplace Solutions took a significant step towards promoting mental health awareness by partnering with Mohlomi Hospital for a two-week mental illness awareness campaign. During this commendable initiative, Workplace Solutions organized two carwash fundraisers to raise proceeds that would be utilized to support Mohlomi Hospital in meeting their needs at that time.

The slogan of  the campaign was “Stop the Stigma”.

Despite efforts of support, stigma and discrimination against people with mental illness can undermine effectiveness of efforts in prevention and treatment. It’s essential to tackle the issue of stigma.World Mental Health Day is held every year by  World Health Organization (WHO) in partnership with the United for Global Mental Health and the World Federation for Mental Health.  Workplace Solutions joins the movement to  help raise awareness about mental health issues while also contributing to provide much-needed assistance to Mohlomi hospital in their mission to care for those struggling with mental illnesses.

A tour of the 10 districts of Lesotho was initiated by Workplace Solutions to create a comprehensive unskilled labour register of adults aged between 18-65, spanning across the entire country. During this endeavor, a mental health worker from Mohlomi Hospital was engaged as a speaker at various registration venues. A platform was provided to enable the dissemination of information concerning diverse mental health matters and the corresponding support services offered by the hospital bringing together communities in a shared commitment to supporting mental health and making a positive impact in people’s lives.
