Since 1997, SADAG has initiated rural development projects in communities where there are little or no mental health care services available.

A study conducted in KwaZulu-Natal province found that 1 in 4 young people (ages 14-24 years) had current thoughts of suicide, thus highlighting the importance of youth mental health in rural areas. "Speaking Books" is a project developed by SADAG in an attempt to raise awareness and help alleviate the pandemics of AIDS, Malaria and TB in South Africa. The "Speaking Books" offer a combination of written text and short audio messages. The voices used are those of local celebrities, singers, musicians and sportsmen. (en)
