💚Proud moment for Masego Mental Health 💚

We had a powerful mental health session with the boys of Tshegetsang Secondary School in Molepolole. We spoke openly about mental health, teenage pregnancy, and the importance of building strong character as a boy child in today’s world.

Creating safe spaces where boys can talk, learn, and grow into responsible, confident young men is the goal. The future is brighter when our boys are empowered, informed, and supported. 🌱✨

✨ Masego Mental Health Organization Commemorates World AIDS Day in Ntlolengwae Ward, Molepolole ✨

Yesterday, Masego Mental Health Organization joined the community of Molepolole in commemorating World AIDS Day at Ntlolengwae Ward, a powerful gathering united under the theme of hope, awareness, and collective action.

The event was honored by the presence of the Paramount Chief of Bakwena, Kgosi Kgari, alongside dikgosi from various wards, councillors, and the Member of Parliament for Molepolole North. Their attendance reflected the strong leadership support behind the fight against HIV and the promotion of mental well-being.

The District AIDS Coordinator Ms Moloi delivered an insightful address, emphasizing the ongoing commitment needed to reduce new infections and support those living with HIV. The Council Secretary, Paramount Chief, and an inspiring HIV activist also shared words of encouragement reminding the community that unity, compassion, and awareness remain our strongest tools.

As Masego Mental Health Organization, we highlighted the critical link between mental health and HIV. Many individuals affected by HIV face emotional, psychological, and social challenges and our mission is to ensure that no one faces these alone. Through partnerships with organizations such as Thusang Bana, we continue to offer counselling and mental-health support to individuals, families, and the community at large.

World AIDS Day is not only a day of remembrance, but a call to action. By addressing mental health alongside HIV, we move closer to building a healthier, more informed, and more resilient community.

Together, we break the stigma. Together, we support healing. Together, we make a difference. ❤️ National AIDS & Health Promotion Agency Makgabaneng

Masego Mental Health Organization proudly commemorated Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Hatsalatladi, a small rural community near Molepolole. The team engaged students and school management in empowering discussions about breast cancer and mental health, breaking barriers of stigma and spreading vital knowledge.💚

Taking awareness to remote areas like Hatsalatladi is essential, as many rural communities often miss out on life-saving information due to distance from urban centers. Together, we’re ensuring that no one is left behind in the fight for better health and wellbeing. National AIDS & Health Promotion Agency Makgabaneng💚

💚Masego Mental Health at the Men’s Breakfast Conversation for Change: Boribamo East, Molepolole Village 💚

This weekend, Masego Mental Health had the honour of taking part in the Men’s Breakfast Conversation for Change held in Boribamo East, Molepolole Village. The event focused on empowering men to have open and honest discussions around Gender-Based Violence (GBV) exploring its root causes and how, together, we can end it.

Our Director, Mr. Edward Masukudu, encouraged men to prioritize their mental well-being and to stop putting themselves under unnecessary pressure to impress others. He reminded attendees that true strength lies in self-awareness, emotional openness, and self-care. Mr. Masukudu emphasized that trying to offer what one doesn’t have can create frustration and, in some cases, lead to violence.

He also shared the importance of seeking help and highlighted the counselling services, psycho-education support, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) that Masego Mental Health provides within the community.

The event was graced by distinguished guests including Scottish Hospital, Prisons, local councillors, dikgosi, the Assistant Station Commander of Molepolole Police, the Assistant District AIDS Coordinator, the Assistant Paramount Chief Mr. Mhaladi, and Honourable Shima Monageng, Member of Parliament, who all shared inspiring words of encouragement and wisdom.

💚At Masego Mental Health, we believe that mental wellness is a key part of building a violence-free society. Together, let’s continue creating safe spaces for men to speak, heal, and grow.

💚Bridging the gap in mental health means breaking stigma, improving access, and ensuring everyone gets the support they deserve because mental well-being is just as vital as physical health.”

💚” ”💚

To “be edified about your mental well-being” means to be educated, enlightened, or uplifted in a way that helps you better understand and care for your mental health.

In other words, it’s about gaining insight or wisdom that strengthens your emotional and psychological well-being, learning things that help you grow, heal, and make healthier choices for your mind. National AIDS & Health Promotion Agency Makgabaneng

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
