i-redrosethorns yaqala njengesitolo se-inthanethi esithengisa amakhandlela athululwe ngesandla, kusukela ngo-2020. Umgomo wethu kwakuwukudala indawo lapho singanikeza khona amandla abanye ngemfundo ezindabeni ezifana nempilo yengqondo, imikhuba yokuzinakekela, kanye nobulili/ubulili. Sikholelwa ekulinganeni futhi siyaqonda ukuthi kunezinkimbinkimbi zomphakathi ezisibuyisela emuva futhi zisigcine sihlukene futhi sibuswa wuhlelo lwezinzalamizi. Sikholelwa ukuthi enye indlela yokuqhubekela phambili futhi sinqamule la maketango, ngemfundo, ukuqwashisa, ukuzelapha, kanye nomphakathi.
Ngalo msebenzi engqondweni, i-redrosethorns inikeza izinsizakalo zokuqeqesha, isebenzisa amasu e-cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) ukufundisa abantu ukuthi baxhumane kanjani neziqu zabo eziyinhloko, futhi sinikeza imihlangano yokufundisa ngezinqubo zokuzinakekela ukuze bakhe ukuzethemba kwabo. Siphinde sinikeze ngamathuba okushicilela - ngomagazini wethu waminyaka yonke kanye nejenali ye-inthanethi - ukukhuthaza abantu ukuba bakhulume futhi bazwakalise amazwi abo. Izindaba zethu yizona ezisixhumanisayo, kodwa futhi yizo ezisinika amandla okuthi siye endleleni ehambisana kakhulu nokuthi singobani, izindinganiso zethu, kanye nezinto esizithandayo. Kungalokhu lapho singaqala khona ukuhlakaza ubukhosi, umuntu oyedwa onikwe amandla, futhi sithuthukise imiphakathi ngesikhathi.
