This is the 8th podcast episode in the Student Counselling Unit's Mental Health and Wellbeing podcast series. In this episode we will unpack an extremely important topic, namely Gender Based Violence. We will explore some of the following questions, (1) what constitutes GBV? (2) How should we speak about and raise awareness about GBV? (3) What are some of the possible reasons for the high rates of GBV in South Africa? (4) How can we assist a friend or family member who may be a victim of GBV? (5) What supportive services regarding GBV are available to our University of Pretoria (UP) students? The expert speaker for this episode is my colleague, Mr Sikander Kalla, a Clinical Psychologist who has a strong compassion for mental health advocacy and awareness particularly with regard to unpacking topics such as masculinity, gender based violence and navigating through identity. He currently works at our Student Counselling Unit at UP assisting students at the Medical campus, he is in private practice in Johannesburg and he also assists community members at the Folateng clinic.
