About Banner

For over 30 years, SADAG has been a lifeline for millions, helping those struggling with Mental Health challenges, emotional distress, and crisis situations. Our mission is to reduce stigma, promote awareness, advocate for Mental Health rights, and ensure that every South African has access to the care they need.

SADAG operates over 30 national 24/7 toll-free helplines staffed by trained counsellors who provide telephonic counselling, crisis intervention, and referrals to Mental Health professionals and support services. Beyond our helplines, SADAG is involved in public awareness campaigns, educational programs, and rural outreach initiatives, working to bridge gaps in Mental Health literacy and services.

Our school-based programmes equip educators, parents, and learners with knowledge and tools to support youth Mental Health. We also provide resources and self-help materials on a range of conditions, including Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and PTSD, empowering individuals to know more about their mental well-being.

SADAG plays a key role in Mental Health advocacy, collaborating with government departments, healthcare providers, corporate partners, and community organisations to improve national Mental Health policies, expand treatment options, and push for greater investment in Mental Healthcare infrastructure. Through strong partnerships between the public and private sectors, we work to create long-term, positive change and ensure that Mental Health remains a national priority.

Committed to accessibility and inclusion, SADAG’s services are available to all South Africans, regardless of location, background, age, or financial status. Our work continues to be a beacon of hope, offering life-saving support, education, and community engagement for those in need. By encouraging a society that is more informed, supportive, and compassionate, SADAG helps individuals find strength, healing, and a way forward.
