You are not alone
Are you subjected to a lot of stress and pressure which leaves you feeling overwhelmed and unhappy?
The African Reporter has partnered with LifeLine Ekurhuleni to bring the youth of Kwatsaduza and Daveyton “You are not alone”, an agony aunt column whereby members of the public can write in, share their challenges on issues related to relationships, loneliness, anxiety and depression, suicide, substance abuse, gender-based violence, bereavement and HIV & AIDS.
Once a letter has been received, a counsellor from LifeLine will read and assess it, and then respond to the writer.
The letters, together with the reply from the counsellor, will be posted on the African Reporter’s website www.africanreporter.co.za and some will be placed in the newspaper once a month.
Members of the public, who are in need of help, can email their letters to tmuteme@caxton.co.za or inbox the African Reporter on Facebook.
