Not everyone with cancer will have changes in sexual desire or how they feel about themselves sexually. You might not notice any changes at all. But you might find cancer changes your body image affecting the way you feel about yourself and sex. Some people lose interest in sex and feel very tired.

Mindfulness Wednesday - The Youth: Are they entitled or have we set them up for failure and what should we do to turn the tide around?

Guest on the line: Billy Selekane - Africa’s #1 Professional Inspirational Speaker.

In 2017, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) report survey found that only 24% of LGBTQ youth said they can “definitely” be themselves as an LGBTQ person at home. Studies have shown the positive health outcomes for LGBTQ youth whose families are supportive and accepting — which include great self-esteem and resilience, and a lower risk of depression, hopelessness, and substance abuse.

We are talking about what families can do to create supportive environments for LGBTQI+ people whether it’s coming out to their parents or introducing a partner to the family. The most important thing you can give your kids is unconditional love and support.

Teachers play a critical role in the development of South Africa’s children. They are not simply shaping young minds through curricula but also act as caregivers where a social worker or psychologist is absent. Who supports teachers in managing the emotional burden?
Community Keepers provides therapeutic counselling and host life changing workshops for learners, educators and parents at our 28 partner schools, in marginalised communities. Their dream is to partner with as many communities as possible, to build resilience and a culture of well-being. Nobody should be denied access to mental health care because they are poor or live in a remote place.

Guest: Gerrit Laning – Chief Executive Officer of Community Keepers

Other offences include cyber fraud, forgery, extortion and theft of incorporeal property. The unlawful and intentional access of computer system or computer data storage medium is also considered an offence, along with the unlawful interception of, or interference with, data.

With Youth Day coming up on June 16, South Africans will be commemorating the lives lost in the Soweto student uprisings and the role played by the youth in our country’s liberation. It will also be a time to reflect on the challenges and issues faced by today’s youth.

One such issue is excessive alcohol consumption, which South Africa is well known for and our drinking culture and youth are no strangers to overindulgence. The challenge with this is that excessive drinking can lead to dependency and impact negatively on our youth’s family lives, relationships and even work. For safety reasons, employers need to ensure that younger employees are not arriving at work still intoxicated from the night before, especially when operating heavy machinery as this could lead to an accident.
