Services to schools
An incident can sometimes traumatize a group of learners, or even the whole school. The death, serious injury or illness of a learner or teacher can be devastating to the school community. Consequently, it may be impossible for the one school counsellor or psychologist to handle this on his/her own. There are benefits to the affected individuals receiving trauma counselling on-site. Please note – this on-site service will again be available from 1 October 2021.
Follow-up psychological counselling at the school can reassure learners and teachers. Also, it gives them confidence to come to work rather than to take leave / be absent.
