WHO WE ARE
INDLELA MENTAL HEALTH
Indlela Mental Health was established in 1939 in response to the needs highlighted by learning partners with intellectual disabilities and psychosocial disabilities and their families. From the onset, the organisation rendered holistic services, not discriminating on basis of race or religion.
The organisation was instrumental in advocating for and establishing schools for children with intellectual disability – many now under Department of Education. We recognise that all persons with mental disabilities have potential and assets that are still not fully recognized.
The organisation is governed by a board consisting of representatives from the community as well as service users.
