A New Year Message of Gratitude, Reflection & Hope

As we close the chapter on this year and step into a new one, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to every client, partner, supplier, and to your families, for your trust, collaboration, and unwavering support.

This year brought many moments of progress and purpose for us, and for that we are deeply grateful. However, the end of the year was particularly tragic for our team and served as a powerful reminder of a truth we live by every day: even when you practise mental health support, advocate for wellbeing, and dedicate your life to saving others, loss can still touch you personally.

Yet, in that grief, we were reminded of something profoundly important — the impact of connection, compassion, and conversation. Over the past eight years, together with you, we have touched more than 300,000 lives. That is a legacy we hold with humility and gratitude.

This season also reminded us of the importance of caring not only for those we serve, but for ourselves, our teams, and our families. Mental health is not just our work — it is our shared responsibility.

We will never stop talking.

We will never stop caring.

And we will continue showing up — with purpose, courage, and heart.

As we look ahead to 2026, we wish you and your loved ones a year filled with kindness, good health, happiness, and love. May you be safe, supported, and surrounded by hope.

Thank you for walking this journey with us.
With gratitude and warmth,

Elzabe & Maryke
And the entire team at

TODAY, WE TURN 8 YEARS OLD!

22 November 2017 - 22 November 2025

As The Talking Point Group celebrates 8 years of service, we are overwhelmed with gratitude, pride, and deep appreciation for everyone who has been part of this extraordinary journey.

From a small Family Law & Mediation practice in Durbanville born from courage, purpose and passion to a national, multidisciplinary 24/7 mental-health and mediation network, we have grown into a lifeline for individuals, families, employees, schools, communities, and industries across South Africa.

Over these 8 years, we have stood beside more than 300,000 individuals, supporting them through some of the most defining and difficult moments of their lives. That number still humbles us.

A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO OUR CEO & FOUNDER, ELZABÉ OPPERMAN

The Talking Point Group exists because one woman chose courage over comfort, purpose over fear, and service over circumstances.

Elzabé Opperman, our Founder and CEO, built this organisation from the ground up during some of the most challenging seasons of her life. Her strength, vision, resilience, and unwavering commitment to the Human1st philosophy have shaped the heart of this company.

We are profoundly thankful for her leadership, her sacrifice, and her belief that every life matters.

Her journey became our foundation - and her purpose became our mission.

Thank you, Elzabé.

Your courage created a lifeline for thousands. Your heart continues to guide us forward.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Durbanville?

The Talking Point and Elzabe Opperman

Elzabè, obtained her BA Ind Soc (Hons) degree and a Masters Certificate in Labour Relations from NWU. An accomplished executive and consultant, spanning over more than ‘two decades’ in the Financial Services industry, having had career success in driving Quality Assurance, Operational Risk Management, Regulatory Compliance, Retail and Corporate Marketing functions on multinational platforms. Having gained significant experience in the industry in areas of operations of fast-paced, rapidly changing Insurance and Banking sales and service call centre and customer services environments.

She then repositioned herself and decided to change course in 2017 following her passion: ‘become a full-time peacemaker and save the world’ by starting a company to help follow her passion and ‘give back’. Thanks to the input of her friend and partner, she trained and qualified and became an accredited member of SAAM (South African Association of Mediators). At the heart of The Talking Point that she manages is a team of accredited, knowledgeable and passionate individuals who care about accessible justice for families and children who work with a qualified network of practitioners and associates.

She is meticulous when it comes to mediation and driven to help those affected to see a different perspective by using the right tools and methods to make the right decisions and lift themselves up. With approximately 13 million children in South Africa growing up without both biological parents in one home, our focus is on the children and what is in their best interests. Due to the enormous need for intervention in family disputes, the traditional approaches don’t have the capacity to deliver justice timeously to children and families. For many court users who have no alternative options, justice become a tedious, very expensive and sometimes impossible exercise. Therefore, we will dedicate our lives and our careers to make a difference in the lives of those who really need it.

She has an incredible passion for people and thrives on making a difference in the lives of everyone she encounters. Her refuge is her husband, home and family and their many animals. It will come as no surprise that you will find her either busy knitting another blanket to donate or taking family photographs. She still dreams of becoming a grade 1 teacher and writing a book about her very special friendship with Dinah, their housekeeper of the last 25 years. But, in the meantime, for solid support, guidance and advice on the benefits of mediation and why you should rather rescue a dog or a cat instead of buying a puppy or a kitten, Elzabè is the person to contact.
