Your outlook on life affects more than you realize.

Circumstances don’t always change—but you can. Even in the midst of challenges, you can choose a new perspective.

Life is vibrant, full of color, and bursting with opportunity. Look on the bright side, and watch how everything begins to change.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. A day to pause, raise awareness, and remind each other that every life has value and every story matters.

Here are some signs that someone may be struggling:
- Talking about wanting to die or feeling hopeless
- Withdrawing from friends or activities
- Giving away possessions or saying goodbye
- Sudden calmness after distress

Talking about it openly can break the stigma and save lives.

Journaling is more than just writing down your thoughts -- it’s a way of slowing down and making sense of what’s happening inside.

Through the practice of journaling we discover patterns that shape the way we see ourselves and the world around us, our thoughts and emotions often feel less overwhelming and more manageable. We are stronger than we think. Sometimes we just need a bit of hopeful introspection to see it.

Ask yourself:
Who in my life reminds me that I matter?
What are three things, big or small, that give me hope?
When have I overcome something hard before, and what helped me through it?

September is Su***de Prevention Month.

Every day, 23 South Africans lose their lives to su***de. For every one, at least 20 more attempt it. Did you know that most who attempt su***de are men? And many are young?

Let’s break the silence.

If you’re struggling with suicidal thoughts or know of someone who is, The Sanctuary is here. Reach out anytime.

There may be many of us who have had experiences growing up, where the way we see ourselves has been distorted, making us believe lies about ourselves, and in the process has shaped the way we live our lives today. When we choose to start believing the truth instead of the lies, it helps us see a clearer road ahead of us and helps us believe that nothing is impossible. Choose the truth instead of the lies, and believe that truly, nothing is impossible!

Our Story

The Sanctuary Christian Counselling Centre known as “The Sanctuary” was birthed out of a vision laid upon Olga Fredericks heart.

The prophecy given to Olga in 2009 was just one of the many confirmations along the way that was given to her. “God is calling you to establish something in a country that is not your own. It is a small seed. It may be something small but it is some big thing that is latent and dormant. It is a vision waiting to be birthed.”

We are part of Global Mandate Wholistic Care Centres (see www.globalcarecentres.co.za). We are also affiliated to the Harare Christian Counselling Centre in Zimbabwe (www.christiancounsellingcentre.net)

We look forward with faith and anticipation to your participating in God's vision for healing in this land through His church as we have a heart for our community and a passion to see all come and feel the love of family.
