UprightSA

Upright is an online psychotherapy platform in South Africa. Upright is here for you, for a better U.

1 in 3 South Africans are affected by a Mental Health issue at some point in their lifetime. It's okay to not be okay, just remember that you're trying - recognize that effort, be kind to yourself, and reach out if you need support.

[UprightSA @UprightSa]

Supporting people from all walks of life is at the heart of what we do.
We're proud to partner with @SAAHA, and look forward to supporting more people on their mental health journey!

Stigma not only stops people from reaching out to loved ones about their mental health, but it sometimes also prevents them from seeking professional help when they most need it.

Gender-based violence is a profound and widespread problem in South Africa, impacting on almost every aspect of a woman's life.

Upright stands against GBV. We have to challenge the beliefs and behaviours that excuse, justify or condone violence and inequality.

This is an online platform where you can talk to someone. It's really affordable.

I had to do it many moons ago, it's nothing to be ashamed of if you need someone to talk to (and receive good direction on how to deal with emotions)

@Jentina3DArtist @Theholisticpsyc This is honestly so sad. We know how tough it can be. Which is why we offer online counselling for South Africans, with our sessions starting at R450 for 60 minutes.

Breathing exercises are really useful in reducing stress and promoting relaxation.
.
By taking deep breaths, your heart rate slows, more oxygen enters our blood stream and ultimately communicates with the brain to relax and reduce stress.

Did you know that physical activity has a positive effect on our mental well-being?
.
The good news is that exercise doesn't have to be strenuous or take a long time.
