Our School Support Programme (SSP)
Our SSP offering includes the following services
Counselling and Assessments
This service aims to identify Learners and Educators at risk and to assist, support, counsel those who are experiencing behavioural, emotional, and personal/home environment challenges. We offer a culturally sensitive confidential counselling service which includes Face to Face counselling as well as digital counselling via Skype/Zoom/WhatsApp video and Telephone counselling. We also provide a wide range of Psycho-social Assessments and Forensic investigations.
Trauma Management
Trauma debriefing:
This service is offered when a traumatic incident occurred. According to research the ideal time for trauma debriefing is 48-72 hours after the incident occurred.
Grief and Loss:
We offer bereavement counselling for Learners/Educators who lost a colleague, loved one, family member or significant other.
Trauma counselling and Post Traumatic stress Disorders (PTSD )
When a child or adult fails to recover after experiencing or witnessing traumatic events, PTSD symptoms might become evident and Trauma counselling is required. This could happen days, months or even years after the trauma occurred and could have a serious impact on their functioning and performance.
Crisis Intervention/Critical Incident Management
Crisis intervention
Crisis Intervention takes place in crisis situations E.g. suicide attempts, child abuse, domestic violence and usually requires an immediate response to contain the situation and emotions.
Crisis Counselling
Crisis counselling takes place after crisis intervention and explores the reasons behind and leading up to the crisis in order to address the situation appropriately and to prevent a similar crisis in future.
Wellness Awareness
Prevention is always better than cure! We will encourage Learners, Educators and their families to take responsibility for their own wellness through monthly wellness themes. This includes digital posters with scan me functionality and helpful info/articles E.g. Managing Trauma, Depression, Stress, Anxiety, Covid 19 .
We will also create a customized SSP Blog for your School to provide Learners and Educators access to your own branded wellness posters and wellness information. You will be able to add to the contents, make comments and we can also make an option available to book counselling sessions online.
