Today I’d like to cover the topic of mental health – a topic that is perhaps the most crucial of all topics but is the least tackled, especially for single parents going through wrongful persecution when they have already been victims of GBV. As a mental health practitioner (and medical doctor), I feel very strongly about the combined effects of the two: mental health adversely affects physical health and vice versa. And often enough, both are not treated simultaneously. Well, most people (many professionals included) are not aware that the two are not mutually exclusive. So let me begin by discussing the underlying causes of poor mental health (or should I say, the consequences of failed, indifferent, ignorant, corrupt, unjust “justice” systems). Causes: I wrote this chapter of the blog to motivate you to reach out to seek help – don’t be afraid because you are NOT alone. We are here to help you in any way we can, we want to LIFT you up so you can once again find peace and live the life with your children the way you envision – safe and happy 🙂 Please don’t hesitate to send us a message via the “Contact” tab – your details are strictly confidential. We would also greatly appreciate if you could let us know what areas you require assistance in. For example, you might want more information on stress management or positive parenting. We are currently gathering information and interests as we are hoping to run online seminars and courses in the near future so your feedback would be greatly appreciated! Take care and hang in there 🙂
