Durban and Coastal Mental Health

From our modest beginnings in 1940 to present, we have created a future of possibilities for People with Mental Disabilities. We celebrate 82 years of creating hope and aspirations through our community outreach across 14 districts stretching from Mandeni in the North and inland as far as Hammarsdale which bears testimony to the impact we have made through extending our reach to communities.
The recipients of our services are Persons with Mental Disabilities. This is a category of persons that comprises of both intellectual and psychiatric disability who also display significant limitations in adaptive behaviour such as self-care, socializing, and communication and are mostly dependent on others for the fulfilment of their needs. In addition, most of our beneficiaries with disabilities from our 24 projects, and the community at large, come from disadvantaged backgrounds, inclusive of deep rural areas, townships and informal settlements. All these communities are characterized by poverty and unemployment.
