‘ Nobody Has Openings’ : Mental Health Providers Struggle to Meet Demand

With anxiety and depression on the rise during the pandemic, it has been challenging
for people to get the help that they need. After Jessica W was laid off from her job as
an executive assistant in November, she began backsliding into the eating disorder
that she thought she had overcome. “ I started to not want to eat again,” Jessica, 33,
said. “ Those thoughts and behaviours — they’re just unbearable, and they drain you.
It becomes a constant battle with yourself.” Jessica was also struggling with anxiety
and depression, so she went online and started searching for mental health providers
where she lived. One of the therapists she called wasn’ t accepting new patients. Two
of them told Jessica that they didn’ t have the right skill sets to help her. Others simply
didn’ t respond.
Since the first CoronaVirus case was confirmed, the number of people in need of
mental health services has surged. But many say that they are sitting on long waiting
lists, making call after call only to be turned away, with affordable options tough to
find. Providers, who have long been in short supply, are stretched thin.

Plumbers, electricians and builders are in huge demand in South Africa

The demand for skilled artisans such as carpenters, toolmakers, fitters, joiners or
mechanics has grown in South Africa, despite the impact of the Covid- 19 pandemic.
However, there is a scarcity of individuals trained and qualified to meet that demand.
It is quite a cycle- resilient market, especially for those artisan- based businesses that
serve homeowners or other small businesses. In other words, there will always be
something broken in need of fixing or features that need an upgrade. There has also
been a definite upward trend in the home improvement sector since the start of the
Covid- 19 pandemic. Learning a trade is one of the easiest entry points to self-
employment and can provide a stable income and decent livelihood with the right
support. It’s important to recognise that artisan- based businesses have different
development needs to other businesses, a crucial one being access to market. Trade
and vocational professions are also set to receive increased focus over the next five
years, as part of a new programme by the Department of Higher Education and
Training.
