This is a 'labour of love', grassroots, community-based network of patients, professionals, NGOs, civil servants, donors, and citizens who care about mental health. We advocate for better services in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, and we help create awareness of mental health and substance abuse problems, and the options that are available for treatment, rehabilitation, and care. Our two main events are the annual Durban Mental Health Symposium and the Durban Advocacy Walk.
