Lerato Solomon’s story reminds us that even when life feels overwhelming, there’s always a way to find light. It’s about seeking help, embracing the journey, and choosing to rise every day 🌿.

Dr. Lerato sheds light on private mental healthcare facilities and how these spaces do more than inform but empower individuals.
