Depression in the Workplace and has Stigma affected you?
Short Online Questionnaire on Stigma in the Workplace |
Stigma in the Workplace has become a key problem to deal with when you are already dealing with Mental Health Issues. We need more information directly from SADAG members about how this has been approached, and the positive or negative aspects you may have experienced in your office. As well as how you have been able to overcome the stigma and get the support of staff and management. |
This Survey Monkey Questionnaire will only take 5 minutes. |
We will close this on the 4th October and will announce the results on World Mental Health Day, 10th October. |

“CHIEF Justice and president of the Conference of Constitutional Jurisdictions of Africa (CCJA) Mogoeng Mogoeng was granted the Biko-Fanon Award for psychological liberation at the opening ceremony of the Pan-African Psychology Congress yesterday.
The award, given jointly by the Steve Biko Foundation, the Psychological Society of South Africa (PsySSA), the Pan-African Psychology Union (Papu) and the Fondation Frantz Fanon, is in recognition of the chief justice’s sterling contributions to public awareness, creating a singular source of hope for morality in the South African and continental citizenry.
Accepting the award, the chief justice said he was “humbled by the award and inspired to do much more than I have done today to serve the people of this country and the continent”.
“It is particularly more inspiring because it comes shortly after my election to the position of the structure responsible for strengthening constitutional jurisdictions in Africa and it comes from a continental structure,” he said.
Mogoeng was elected president of the CCJA at its fourth congress in April. He had previously served as vicepresident under Marie Madeleine Mborantsuo of Gabon. He will serve for two years.
President of Papu Prof Saths Cooper said: “This award comes at a moment when South Africa and the world have recently marked the 40th anniversary of the death in detention of Steven Bantu Biko, whose prescient writings exposed the psychological dimensions of oppression.”
