- The page explicitly says Sondela is not a crisis line or clinic and directs immediate danger to emergency and crisis numbers.
Field notes
Participation is framed as one person checking on another, then passing the gesture along. The page includes a one-minute breathing prompt and a longer piece of advice attributed to the founder’s late grandmother. A section titled “The silence” presents figures about suicide and mental-health treatment in South Africa, and notes that a full age-and-province breakdown is not finished; the page links to news coverage.
