About Us

Breaking the silence around youth mental health

Our Story

Ofentse Youth Wellness was founded in 2025 with one clear mission: to bring mental health awareness directly to South African high schools—where it's needed most.

We recognized that too many learners were suffering in silence, dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression without knowing it's okay to talk about it. So we decided to create safe spaces in schools where mental health isn't taboo—it's a conversation.

What Drives Us

Breaking Stigma

Mental health is just as important as physical health. We normalize these conversations.

Safe Spaces

Every learner deserves a judgment-free environment to talk about mental wellness.

Accessibility

All our workshops are 100% free. Mental health support shouldn't have a price tag.

Empowerment

We give learners practical tools to manage their mental wellness and support their peers.

Our Team

We're a passionate collective of over 100 volunteers—psychology graduates, mental health advocates, educators, and young professionals who believe every learner deserves mental health support.

Led by founder Ofentse Percy Mohloke, our team brings diverse perspectives, expertise, and a shared commitment to youth mental wellness across South Africa.
