Why I Created The Offload Room
I created The Offload Room from my own experience and from listening to what women and men have shared with me. Again and again, I heard how much people were carrying while continuing to work, care for others and meet their responsibilities. I wanted to offer a private, structured way to pause and work with that load, without having to explain it to anyone.

Male and female suicide deaths in South Africa
WHO estimates for 2019, reported in South African Family Practice, indicate approximately four male suicide deaths for every one female suicide death in South Africa. This is a comparison of the number of deaths, not separate population rates.
Received no treatment
In the South African Stress and Health study, approximately three in four adults who met criteria for a mental disorder had received no treatment in the previous 12 months. The study included men and women. Interviews took place between 2002 and 2004.
You do not have to wait until everything becomes too much to make room for yourself.
The Offload Room is not therapy or coaching and does not replace mental health treatment.
