Join the Little Lions Fellowship to become a leader in mental health advocacy. Every year, we select 40 young leaders from Cape Town for a comprehensive fully funded program of mental health workshops, coaching, and a community challenge.
With only 500 psychologists serving the public sector in our country, the need for community leaders to advocate for mental health is urgent. By joining the fellowship, you’ll become part of a network dedicated to normalising mental health conversations.
Together, let’s create a future where mental well-being is a priority for all! Are you the person we are looking for? Fill out the form below to join the movement.

At Little Lions, we host daily free mental health workshops for children in under-resourced communities with the aim of making mental health resources easily accessible so that children can navigate through life’s challenges with a profound understanding of their mental well-being. Yet, we realise that we cannot do this alone. To encourage leaders to join our mission of normalising mental health conversations & creating a Pride of mental health coaches encouraging connections between the fellows & beyond.

The fellowship runs over the course of 6 weeks from July until October which is Mental Health Awareness Month. During which Little Lions hosts immersive workshops where Fellows are trained by a team of psychologists and Little Lions coaches with extensive experience. There will be a lot of learning, sharing, discussions, group work and creativity to boost the mental health of our fellows. Upon completion of the workshop, the fellows will be divided into 4 groups to do the Little Lions mental health challenge: to come up with a community event where they put all their newly acquired knowledge into practice.
