Important Announcement: Engage Men's Health Suspension of Services

OUT and Engage Men's Health regret to announce that, due to an immediate 'stop-work order' issued by our funder, we cannot provide any services until further notice.

We understand the urgency of your health needs and urge clients to seek care and access ARVs or PrEP at their nearest public health facility or healthcare provider. For PEP (following potential HIV exposure), please visit your local clinic or consult a Dis-Chem pharmacist within 72 hours.

We deeply value our clients and remain committed to safeguarding your health. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and disruption this may cause. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide further details at this time.

For urgent mental health support:

Counselling: Contact the Cipla Mental Health Helpline at 0800 456 789 (24/7) or WhatsApp the Cipla Mental Health Chatline at 076 882 2775 (8:00 - 17:00).

Su***de Crisis: Reach the South African Depression and Anxiety Group’s Su***de Crisis Helpline at 0800 567 567 (24/7).

Thank you for your understanding.
