Organisation focuses on mentally disabled's future.

The Mental Health organisation hosted a training session on 14 and 15 September.

Representatives of Mental Health, Marietjie School and the Kristopher Ryan Centre attended the session and the aim was to develop career paths for people with intellectual disabilities.

“We wanted to empower intellectually disabled people so they can get jobs one day,” said Ms Pam Kotze of Mental Health.

“We also wanted to make them aware of their strengths and abilities instead of looking at their disabilities.”
