Hi there, we are Willow, Zoë and Logan , we are the Neurospicy Justice Warriors, a rag tag team of teenagers devoted to making the world a better and more friendly place for people like us, those who struggle with mental health issues and or fall under the term of neurodivergent which means not having a ‘typical’ neurological structure or just working differently.
We are part of the changemaker project, who have graciously given us the opportunity and means to make our voices heard and work to bettering tomorrow.
Why do we do what we do?
Mental health and Neurodivergence are topics that are not treated with as much respect as they should, specifically in south Africa there is a lot of stigma revolving around mental illness and there is a uninformed view of neurodivergence, and on top of that mental health care is expensive and hard to access. We would very much like this to not be the case, so we have decided to do something about it.
What do we do?
We aim to help, in as many ways we can. Admittedly that not many ways, but we aim to provide people with the necessary resources to understand their diagnoses, to allow people to get to a professional to get diagnosed to get to a therapist or counselor to help with all the noise that comes with neurodivergence and mental health issues, and to give you as an individual the chance to tell your story, your experience and so you don’t have to suffer in silence but start working towards understanding whats going on.
