Social Relief of Distress grant extended to March 2024

The COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant – also known as the R350 grant – is expected to be extended to the end of March 2024. This as government continues to consider options for a replacement for the grant with no decision taken yet on how the replacement will be financed. Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana announced the extension of the grant during his presentation of the Medium Term Budget Policy Statement in Parliament on Wednesday afternoon. “The SRD grant was introduced in May 2020 as a temporary measure to respond to the needs of the most vulnerable, who were affected by [COVID-19 induced] lockdown measures.

what is mental health


Mental health refers to a person's overall psychological and emotional well-being. It encompasses a broad range of factors, including a person's ability to cope with stress, form healthy relationships, and make decisions that contribute to their happiness and overall quality of life.

Good mental health is characterized by a positive sense of self-esteem, resilience, and an ability to manage and regulate one's emotions. It is also marked by the absence of mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and others.

Mental health can be influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, environmental factors, lifestyle, and life experiences. It is also impacted by access to resources such as healthcare, social support, and education.

It's important to prioritize mental health, just as one does with physical health. This can involve engaging in activities that promote well-being, seeking professional help if needed, practicing self-care, and creating a supportive and nurturing environment.
