The South African Anxiety and Depression Group (SADAG) is advocating for South Africans to prioritise their mental health as part of their goals for 2024. The start of a new year often brings about the opportunity to reflect on goals for the year ahead.

SADAG Operations Director Cassey Chambers says as part of New Year resolutions, people often aim to achieve good health and financial wellness and sometimes neglecting mental health. She is hopeful that 2024 is the year many will seek the health they need.

What is your self-care toolbox, what are the things that help your cup, what are the things that you can do to help look after yourself
