Episode 09 – Private Mental Healthcare Facilities with Dr Lerato Motshudi
Welcome to the ninth episode of Mind Vault, where we unlock minds one story at a time.
This week on Mind Vault, we step inside the often-misunderstood world of mental health facilities 🧠🏥
What really happens beyond the reception area and therapy rooms? What kind of care is offered and who delivers it?
We’re joined by Dr. Lerato Motshudi, a Medical Director, who offers a look into how these spaces are structured to support healing. From tailored treatment plans to the role of people with lived experience, she shares how empathy and expertise come together to meet people where they are.
