@gorgeous_rare We would like some advice about where a child can be assessed for Learning Difficulties via Educational Psychologist and hopefully appropriate school placement/ other provisions in Harare. If this is not your area of expertise, please refer as appropriate!
Hi all, just a quick reminder that"personal" issues are so-called for a reason hey!
Take care when consulting Counsellors/Therapists& other fellow social media users you don't know IRL even if it is free.
Be safe&wise by checking credentials first!
#zimwellbeing@network_zim
Professional Counsellors/Therapists SHOULD follow regulations via paperwork prior to working with you regarding your "personal" issues!
Expect mere support initially when you DM us due to regulations that are also there for your SAFETY!

@PTChimusoro Depression, bipolar and other mental health conditions are often brushed off in zim or is it africa something to talk abt some other time. Maybe we need more professionals to talk to be it therapists, psychologists or priets etc .
Had a chat with my friend, I trust her. She says Zim has a 0.24% budget on mental health and there are only 20 registered psychologists in a country with about 14million people. And we have more people dying from mental health related issues than anything else.
We need better.
