This October, SADAG is proud to commemorate World Mental Health Day on the 10th October 2025, focusing on “Together for Mental Health.” For over 30 years, SADAG has been at the forefront of raising awareness, fighting stigma, and providing free support services to those affected by Mental Health issues in South Africa. This year, our focus is on the power of unity – bringing together patients, families, communities, Healthcare professionals, government, and civil society - to stand side by side for Mental Health.
Alone, we can do so little, but together we can achieve so much more.
From our “Go Green for Mental Health” activities in schools and workplaces to the #MoveForMentalHealth Parkruns, community talks, hospital and clinic awareness events, new Support Groups, and online webinars - every action reminds us that together, we can create hope, strengthen partnerships, and drive change for quality Mental Health care for all.
Corporate Challenge - Go Green For Mental Health
We are challenging all workplaces this World Mental Health Day (10 October) to join SADAG in going green for Mental Health. With 1 in 4 employees living with Depression and 1 in 3 South Africans experiencing a Mental Illness at some point, companies have a vital role to play in breaking stigma and supporting staff. By encouraging employees to wear green, decorating offices, or purchasing green ribbons (R10 each), your workplace can show solidarity while helping to spark conversations that break the stigma around Mental Health in the workplace.
