A Positive Message to the Community

My name is Edward Masukudu, and I have made the conscious decision to become the voice of the voiceless. On this particular day, 13 Years Back! In 12 November 2011, I was admitted to Sbrana Psychiatric Hospital for a month, where I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. This experience was difficult, but it was also a turning point in my life. Since then, I have lived positively with this condition, embracing each day with determination and hope.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to not only manage my condition but also to advocate for others facing similar challenges. I have conducted awareness campaigns, sharing my story to break the stigma surrounding mental health. It is crucial that we understand that mental health is just as important as physical health, and living with a mental health condition does not define a person’s worth.

I stand before you today as proof that it is possible to live a fulfilling and productive life with mental health challenges. Mental health struggles are a part of many people’s lives, but they do not have to be faced in isolation or fear. With the right support, understanding, and compassion, anyone can overcome the difficulties they face.

To the community, I urge you to join me in creating a society where mental health is openly discussed, where support systems are strong, and where people are empowered to seek help without shame. Let’s continue to work together to reduce stigma, offer compassion, and ensure that no one ever feels alone in their journey.

Together, we can make a difference and build a future where mental health is valued, and all voices are heard.

Thank you for your time, your understanding, and your support.

Sincerely,
Edward Masego Masukudu
Founder & Director of Masego Mental Health Organization

Mental health advocate & a Community Volunteer Mr Masukudu bringing some arts & sports therapy to Sbrana patients year 2016, the event has been on a pause due to lack of funds but the organization is hoping to bring it back soon as it had more positive impact to both sbrana patients & university of Botswana students. Students were tasked to spend a day at Sbrana and socialized with patients through arts & sports activities. A great initiative that brought a sense of belonging and inclusion to patients and built a great relationship between Masego Mental Health Org, University of Botswana & Sbrana Psychiatric Hospital.

Masego Mental Health Organization sensitizing employees of Source Cutting Works in Molepolole about mental health issues in the workplace.

Mental health in the workplace is top of mind for everyone these days. While our understanding of mental health at work is changing, and how widespread poor mental health is, it's worth taking a look at the basics.
Supporting mental health in the workplace is no longer a nice-to-have but a necessity. Creating wellness solutions to help their employees thrive is the first step.
