Burnout doesn’t discriminate.
‘South Africa ranks among the highest in mental health disorders globally.’ (Source: Ipsos World Mental Health survey 2024)
According to the study, based on three years of data from more than 23,000 participants across 31 countries, over 70% of South Africans have faced stress levels that make it difficult to cope with life’s demands, and more than half have reported feeling so stressed over the last year, that they couldn’t even work.
“It’s so important to get tools for development from experts,” says health expert Vanessa Ascencao but the majority of South Africans unfortunately lack access to mental health professionals and resources.
A separate report from UNICEF shows that 60% of South African youth have required mental health assistance in the past year.
It’s clear how burnout can negatively impact employees suffering from disillusionment and fatigue, but the ripple effect from fatigue affects leadership and the parent organization as well.

What is AccessBars®?
Access Bars® is used as a potent and pragmatic tool by businesses, schools, athletes, prison wards, first-responders, psychologists, families and many more, support the mental, emotional and physical wellbeing of individuals.
The Bars® are 32 unique points on the head that correlate to different areas and aspects of life. During an Access Bars session, a practitioner gently touches these points to release the electromagnetic charge of all thoughts, ideas, attitudes, decisions, and beliefs that may have limited you in the concerned life areas.
Scientific research using QEEG brain scans, conducted by Dr Jeffrey Fannin, neuroscientist and executive director of Center for Cognitive Enhancement and Dr Terri Hope, PhD. DNM, have shown physiological, neurological and psychological changes occurring simultaneously during an Access Bars® session.
They published their findings in the Journal of Energy Psychology in 2017 showing that:
The severity of anxiety symptoms were reduced by 84.7% on average.
The severity of depression symptoms were reduced by 82.7% on average.
All participants showed an increase in Brain Coherence
“Treatment with Access Bars was associated with a significant decrease in the severity of symptoms of anxiety and depression and an increase in EEG coherence. These results suggest that Access Bars may be useful as a treatment for anxiety and depression.”
