Mental health and the inability to speak earnestly about it, especially in an age of social media, adds excessive pressure on the expectations and experiences we have of life. Charles Malanga uses a practical illustration of his vision for the way in which we can achieve healthy minds and lives through his story sharing initiative, For the People By the People. Charles is the founder and owner of CiM Psychology and is a qualified Counselling Psychologist. He completed his Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology through the University of Pretoria, which was preceded by a Bachelor of Social Science (Honours) in Applied Psychology.

Charles is passionate about working with adolescents and young adults in the sporting fraternity. His interests lie in anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and transitional life challenges. He realizes that access to mental health services are not readily available to everyone, and thus feels a sense of responsibility to use his professional expertise about mental health to create awareness and disseminate information on how we can better maintain our emotional and psychological well-being. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
