Founded by Last Machingura, a South African qualified registered Occupational Therapist, dedicated and passionate about the extended care and support for mental and emotional health.
Uworthy was established to assist with follow-up care to everyone needing a safe space; post-treatment support, to enhance their skills, challenge their thinking and promote self-reflection. Our aim is to assist individuals, groups, couples and families to decrease suffering and improve happiness in their lives. In addition, we provide a safe online and face to face platform for self-exploration, learning useful coping skills, and establishing supportive connections.
The focus is empowering individuals, families and groups to develop effective coping mechanisms for emotional regulation, stress management, and relationship effectiveness. We believe none of us are immune to pain and we can learn more effective ways to cope so that we do not end up experiencing extended periods of suffering. Like many other things out of one’s control, one does not choose to or not to experience pain but rather ways to cope and manage it. Some of the coping mechanisms one might use in dealing with pain may be ineffective and results in exacerbating or prolonging misery.
