Naledi's path to healing - weekly cognitive behavioral therapy in Soweto

After the loss of my brother, Naledi has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Soweto cost $30 each. Naledi has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Naledi could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Naledi, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment. The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record. Where the $350 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $250 • Psychiatric assessment: $65 • Workbook and resources: $35 With deep gratitude, Tracey
