World Mental Health Day – Let your dreams take to the sky

Cape Mental health

Our dreams begin in youth, and Cape Mental Health is encouraging children and youth to #FlyYourDreams at the 28th Cape Town Kite Festival on 9 October 2022. You’re never too old to dream big, so let your dreams take to the sky, and fly a kite as high as you can this October in support of mental health awareness. Invest in your mental health – invest in our future.

Cape Mental Health’s annual flagship event is once again taking place this October to raise funds to enable this leading non-profit organisation to continue providing essential free mental healthcare services and interventions to those who are most in need.

“Our investment in children and youth, in particular, helps prevent mental illness that can progress into adulthood and limit the potential and dreams for the future of young people.”
Young, old, and everyone in-between is invited to view kites at Melkbosstrand Beach in Cape Town on 9 October in support of World Mental Health Day (on 10 October 2022), or visit the Cape Town Kite Festival website for real-life and online activities.

Join kiters all over the globe and fly your kite at the 28th Cape Town Kite Festival, anywhere and anytime during October 2022. Get inspired by the magic of soaring kites with activities for the little ones, or let your imagination fly high with the inclusive EduKite competition for learners from mainstream primary and special schools.
