WE ARE A FOUNDATION BASED IN MITCHELLS PLAIN

Please feel free to view our blog and articles below.

Lentegeur currently faces difficult challenges in both managing its workload and adapting to a variety of changes. Most importantly, these include population growth and epidemiological changes: mental illness is increasingly being recognized as one of the leading causes of global burden of disease, with a strong association to poverty. The communities served by the hospital, and particularly those in many of the areas surrounding it, are characterised by high levels of poverty, drug abuse, criminality and social fragmentation. Although climate change may not be a major concern within these communities, it is clear that its consequences, and particularly that of food-price inflation, will affect them most directly.

John Parker: Psychiatrist

For nearly ten years now, John has been working at Lentegeur Psychiatric Hospital, in Mitchells Plain on the Cape Flats – a place that many have described as a ‘malhuis in a ghetto’. After five years he felt totally finished, and ready to give up. Then something happened that led to an awakening to a new way of being in the world, as an individual, as a healer, as part of this hospital and as a part of broader society.
