Through free workshops and unwavering support, Phoenix Core offers a lifeline to those lost in the storm of mental health challenges.
Johannesburg, South Africa (07 August 2024) – For a long time, mental healthcare was overlooked and largely misunderstood in many communities. But thanks to organisations like Phoenix Core, people no longer have to carry heavy burdens alone.
The compassionate members of Phoenix Core are all about love, fostering open conversations and reducing stigma through mental health awareness.
Phoenix Core is an impactful non-profit organisation supporting individuals with mental health challenges. The organisation empowers people to seek help without fear, creating a more supportive and understanding society.
The significant initiative is run by a selfless group of people who have dedicated their time to offering free self-development workshops to aid individuals dealing with mental health issues such as depression, anger management, anxiety, or just seeking direction/purpose in life.
For founders Gaby, Chris, Kathy and Nick Fischer, helping people through life’s myriad of challenges by giving them unconditional love and support is their calling.
“When we are asked why we do what we do, we have a one-word answer, and that is love. The world needs a lot more love out there and if we can assist people to have more love for themselves, just imagine how much love they might be able to give everyone else.
“It’s like throwing a stone into a pond, and you get ripples, but imagine throwing many stones into that same pond, what comes back is waves! Together what we are doing is making the world a better place, even if that means helping one person at a time,” explains Chris Fischer, Director of Phoenix Core.
Operating without external funding, Phoenix Core relies solely on its own resources to sustain these vital workshops.
The organisation appeals to the greater public for donations of:
- Sugar,
- Water,
- Coffee,
- Tea and rooibos,
- Biscuits,
- Long-life milk,
- Detergents,
- Toilet paper,
- A first-aid kit
- and stationery such as books, pens and markers.
These items will go a long way in hosting its workshops that continue to help many people in need of a shoulder to lean on.
