Experts, including Dr. Lerato Masenya, highlight the importance of improving public mental health services to disrupt this intergenerational cycle and offer solutions for a safer and more equitable future. Learn about the impact of GBV, the role of mental health support, and strategies to combat violence in South Africa.
