The non-profit organisation works with children and adults in Diepsloot to develop their self-worth, gain life skills and the sense of empowerment needed to build a hopeful future.
Founder of Shumbashaba, Sharon Boyce said the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and ongoing lockdown regulations have caused many people devastating mental effects. “Shumbashaba will be offering free weekly counselling services to children, youth, and unemployed adults who are struggling with stress, depression, grief, trauma and anxiety.
These sessions are run by two mental health professionals and can be booked by appointment,” Boyce said. “We are also offering a Recovery Skills Group every Tuesday from 12pm to 1pm for people who are looking to build some skills for addiction recovery.
