Caring for our carers 💙

Ithemba Foundation

Caring for our carers – today we wore funky, mismatched socks!

We consult them often – GPs, specialists, dentists, psychologists and other healthcare workers.

Now it’s time to show them our support and draw attention to the mental health needs of healthcare workers.

Post a photo of your funky socks along with and tag Ithemba Foundation (and us, if you want) 😉. You can also share your pic in the comments.

Support our healthcare workers: Say it with socks!

Today, 3 June 2022, is Day 🧦 in support of mental health awareness amongst our healthcare workers.
This day is to create awareness around the importance of the mental health needs for our and fellow healthcare workers. All levels of healthcare (nurses doctors, Biokineticists, Physiotherapists, Dietitians, Psychologists, reception etc,) practitioners in public and private practice, need support in normalizing the conversation around mental health.

Ithemba Foundation

Mental health matters. Let’s all try keeping sane while helping and changing lives , doing what we love.

“Non-profit organization Ithemba Foundation and pharmaceutical company Cipla have partnered again for the 2022 Crazy Socks for Docs (CS4D) campaign, supported by the South African Medical Association (SAMA). The campaign sheds light on the need for mental health awareness and care in the medical industry.”
Thank you Cipla South Africa for GROOTfm 90.5’s crazy socks!

The Kemp & Associates team were proud supporters of the initiative led by the Ithemba Foundation on Friday, 04 June 2021 by rocking their crazy socks in support of mental health awareness and the impact of Covid-19 on our health care workers.

Gesondheidswerkers is onder meer druk as ooit tevore, wat vandag se Sokkies vir Dokkies-dag (Crazy Socks for Docs) belangriker as ooit maak.

"CrazySocks4Docs Day, or for short, is a day on which awareness is raised of the mental health needs of all our healthcare workers. Especially under Covid-19, their already crisis-level needs have given rise to another pandemic – mental health – and it is happening in a sector that needs to care for us, the public. What can we do to show our support and turn awareness into action? That’s easy – wear a pair of the most mismatched socks you can find in your cupboard to show you care!" - skryf Lizette Rabe

Ek het die lekkerste lawwe sokkies aan vandag, vir elke gsondheidswerker!

MASKERS TE KOOP

Hier is dit nou: jou SWARTHONDMASKER!
Dis 'n drie-laag, wasbare gesigmasker, gemaak van katoenmateriaal - honderd present eg. Vir slegs R50 stuk.

Erna Oosthuizen, wat die Swarthond-projek bestuur, het vir die eerste ruk van die grendeltyd op Yzerfontein gesit en hekel aan die mooiste komberse om te verkoop, saam met die lappieskomberse, wat ons bekendgestel het kort voor ons ingeperk is. Maar dis nogal frustrerend. Ons kan nie ons bestaande bestellings vir komberse versend nie, en om nuwe bestellings te neem, voel nie heeltemal reg nie – Pep Stores se Paxidiens is gesluit en die koeriermaatskappye mag net die noodsaaklikhede vervoer.
’n Dag of vyf gelede toe bel Erna, en stuur ’n foto: Sy het begin om maskers te maak – maskers van shweshwe-lap wat jou neus en mond ordentlik beskerm. Sy was die lap baie deeglik, sodat die materiaal sag is en nie jou gesig krap nie.
Ek d**k nie almal weet dit nie, maar ’n masker moet volgens medici baie gereeld ordentlik gewas word. Die goedkoop maskers wat jy deesdae oral kry, is gedaan na een of twee keer se was. Jou swarthondmasker is net so taai soos, wel… die swarthond in hierdie onseker tye.
Erna het ’n permit het ‘n permit gekry, sodat ons die maskers kan versend. Alles dui daarop dat ’n masker vir baie maande nog deel van jou daadlikse uitrusting sal wees.
Praat gerus met Erna – of stuur vir haar ’n whatsapp by 082-771-4654 as jy wil bestel. Bestel sommer vir jou hele gesin elkeen een, of jou werkers, of vriende, of...

As jy enigiets oor die -projek en ons ander produkte wil weet, sy gesels graag met mense. Die doel van die projek is om onder meer om mense bewus te maak van depressie as 'n behandelbare siekte. Ons verskaf ook werk aan werklose mense.

Intussen is ons op soek na besighede hier aan die Weskus, waar ons beide woon, waar ons die maskers kan verkoop. As jy weet van sulke winkel, laat weet asseblief vir Erna.
‘n Mens weet nie wat die staatspresident môre-aand gaan aankondig nie, maar alles dui daarop dat baie van die inperkingsreëls na 1 Mei verslap word sodat klein ondernemings soos ons sake kan bedryf. Claritha Lewis en Jermaine October, die twee vrou wat vir ons help goed maak, kan nie wag om weer te begin werk nie. Nes honderd, duisende, ander kleiner besighede en projekte het die koronavirus vir ons baie onsekerheid gebring. Maar ons hou moed, en leef hoopvol vorentoe.

Ons gesels gou weer.
Liefde-liefde
Dana

PS! Deel asseblief plasing met soveel mense as moontlik. Ons sal dit opreg waardeer. Swarthond werk onder meer saam met die Ithemba Foundation, wat waardevolle werk doen om mense bewus te maak van depressie as ‘n behandelbare siekte. Ithemba is ook betrokke by verskeie navorsingsprojekte oor depressie.

DANKIE ELIZABETH

In hierdie vreemde virus-tyd het ons hier by Swarthond darem nog goeie nuus. Ons is byna gereed om ons SNOESKOMBERSE te begin verkoop… Dit sou nie moontlik gewees het nie as dit nie vir Spies van die Paarl gewees het nie. Elizabeth, wat haar eie klerefabriek het, het vir ons 'n industriele naaimasjien asook 'n omkapmasjien geskenk - verlede jaar al. Elizabeth het ook vir Moses Makhondwane met die masjiene kom touwys maak. Elizabeth, kan jy maar se, is Erna se mentor. Sy sal 'n ogie oor die kwaliteit van die komberse hou. Dit gaan 'n professionele produk wees, van dieselde kwaliteit wat jy in Woolies of in watter boutique ookal kan koop. Elizabeth het Erna ook gehelp om die prys van die komberse te bepaal. Baie dankie, Elizabeth. Vir jou professionele hulp, ook vir jou liefde en ondersteuning. Ons waardeer dit opreg. Ek het dit nou al 'n paar keer gese, maar ek vertel binnekort - soos in baie binnekort - meer van die komberse. Liefde-liefde. Dana.

PS! Ek en Erna Oosthuizen, wat die projek bestuur, was die naweek bevoorreg om deel te kon wees van die skryfwerkwinkel op Stellenbosch wat prof. Lizette Rabe aangebied het. Ons het ook van ons droomhonde en ander produkte daar verkoop. Prof. Rabe bedryf tussen 'n klomp ander dinge die Ithemba Foundation wat soveel doen rondom onder meer die bewusmaking van depressie as behandelbare siekte. Op die foto is ook Elsa Fourie, wat prof. Rabe bystaan.

Praat enige tyd met Erna op 082-771-4654 as jy oor die SNOESKOMBERSE of enigiets ander oor die projek wil gesels.

Hundreds of pairs of socks were dished out to medical students last week during the campus launch of the ( ) awareness campaign that seeks to help break the silence around mental-health illness in the medical profession.

More than 600 medical students from the University of the Free State (UFS) School of Internal Medicine heeded the call by the non-governmental organisation, Ithemba Foundation, whose mission is to educate the public around mental health – specifically depression and related diseases such as anxiety disorders – and to support research.

On Monday, 3 June 2019, the Ithemba Foundation launched the CS4D campaign countrywide at all tertiary institutions with medical schools to help break the silence around mental health in the medical profession.
