Personal message

R5 off each product I sell goes towards the South African Depression & Anxiety group. I wanted to start this business to raise awareness for those who suffer from depressive & suicidal episodes reason why I gave it the name Love Your Noggin. The mind is a difficult thing to control, when you tell yourself something it is so easy to convince yourself to believe it leading you to a state of what feels like permanent unhappiness and therefore not being able to achieve your goals, maintain relationships or focus on anything besides your problems and not being able to deal with them really, which has become a serious issue in our country, especially the youth of South Africa. 

 

"Mental illness, and the stigma surrounding it, is a critical issue in South Africa. The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) is at the forefront of patient advocacy, education and destigmatisation of mental illness in the country. Its expertise lies in assisting patients and callers throughout South Africa with mental health queries.

 

SADAG is a Non-Profit Organisation, a Registered Section 21 Company, with an 18a tax exemption. It has on its board a powerful team of Patients, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, and General Practitioners. SADAG was established twenty years ago to serve as a support network for the thousands of South Africans who live with mental health problems. Currently, it is estimated that 1 in 5 people will, or do, suffer from a mental illness. SADAG manages a 16-line counselling-and-referral call centre, and is the voice of patient advocacy, working in urban, peri-urban, and the most rural communities across South Africa."
