GEORGE NEWS - Over the course of the last 12 months, the team of qualified professionals at Akeso Clinic in George has assisted many patients on their journey to recovery. The clinic celebrated its first birthday on Wednesday 11 March.
When it comes to mental health, recovery is a journey, not a sprint. It is full of ups and downs and twists and turns. Acknowledging this is important in making progress and not losing heart when faced with setbacks.
It is important to know that, on the road to mental health, the low points are simply part of the journey. The way you handle setbacks should teach you something about yourself.
The plan to recovery is fluid and should be adjusted as needed throughout the treatment process. Sandile Mhlongo, managing director of the Akeso Group, reflects on their journey: "We have built an incredible physical infrastructure - undoubtedly the most beautiful clinic in our entire group. We have worked tirelessly to source the best talent available to manage and deliver services to the community in need and demonstrated resilience and an unrelenting resolve to ensure our operations weather any storm.
"The team members have been at the forefront of our ambition to deliver care with compassion in a personal and family- focused manner. They have fostered a culture of collaboration, high quality and high value care.
"Through individual and group therapy sessions, Akeso Clinic helps you to identify the triggers that cause you to stumble time and time again. We provide you with opportunities to try new things in a safe, non-judgemental environment; we teach you new ways to view or think about ideas, and discover healthier habits and activities that bring you joy.
"At Akeso we walk beside our patients on their journey of healing.
"We accept and do not judge. We try to be kind at all times. We serve with empathy and sincerity. We welcome each and every patient with an open heart."
