Friends of Shedam are people and organisations who share a simple conviction: no one should be denied mental healthcare because of financial hardship.
The Vision
SHEDAM Mental Health Initiative envisions a growing circle of friends — individuals, professionals, faith communities and organisations — who stand with us in ensuring access to professional mental healthcare for all. Friends do not just give; they walk with us, advocate with us, and share in the joy of lives transformed.
“We invite you to become a Friend of SHEDAM and support individuals who cannot afford professional mental healthcare — so that no one is left behind.”
