South Africa faces a significant gap in mental health care due to a shortage of mental health professionals. Task-sharing is a new approach where trained non-specialist health workers provide basic mental health services, particularly for underserved communities. Task-sharing is accomplished by training and supervising community counsellors to provide mental health support. By delegating skills, a single registered therapist can extend their reach, significantly increasing access to mental health services.
Chairperson and Founder, Daniel Rabinowitz, a clinical psychologist, recognised the limitations of reaching only a small number of clients individually.
He explored the task-sharing model as a way to expand the reach of registered mental health professionals. At first, he started a hub from his practice in Sea Point and hubs are now growing by delivering services online and in various provinces around the country!

Our Model - The Kuthetha Nathi Truck
The Kuthetha Nathi Organogram - The Truck Model
The truck model describes the organogram of our organisation. The engine represents our chairperson and board members. The operational manager sits in the driver's seat with her team in the back of the truck doing all the organising. The wheels of our truck represent where the main work actually happens - on the ground! The hubs of the wheels represent our important supervisors - registered professionals with the Health Professions Society of South Africa (HPCSA) who supervise our community counsellors.
There are approximately four to five counsellors for every one supervisor. These are represented by the spokes of the wheel. Each counsellor may see between one and five clients at any one time. This means that one supervisor may reach a maximum of 25 clients at any one time. The community is where the counsellors hits the ground, represented by the tyres - these are the various communities in which the hubs serve small communities around the country.
