On Tuesday, 28 July 2026, the SA Federation for Mental Health (SAFMH), in partnership with the South African Disability Alliance (SADA), hosted a special session of Awareness in Action with SAFMH to commemorate Psychosocial Disability Awareness Month 2026 (PDAM).
This month, we focused on the need to prioritise and increase investment in community-based mental health care and how it fosters meaningful inclusion and integration for persons with psychosocial disability.
A special thank you to our outstanding speakers: Carol Bosch (Cape Mental Health), Rebecca Nabirabwa (StrongMinds), and Christine Atuginza (StrongMinds). We appreciate you for sharing excellent insights and practical lessons from your programmes.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us. If you couldn’t join us live, you can watch the recording below:
