-
- Mental Health
The Student Counselling Unit (SCU) at UP (University of Pretoria) is proud to bring you a second season of valuable mental health and well-being podcast episodes. The very first episode of this season focuses on how first year students can adjust well to university. Considering that after Covid hit, students who started university in 2020 and 2021 did not really get a chance to be on campus, this topic may also be relevant not only for 1st years but also for 2nd and 3rd year university students.
This episode has been conceptualized and hosted by Miss Raquael Fereirra, Intern Counselling Psychologist at the SCU. Our expert guest speaker is Ms Mashudu Nefale, a dedicated Clinical psychologist who works at the SCU with vast experience in providing innovative treatment to assist with mental health struggles. She is committed to serving as an ongoing support from diagnosis, evaluation through to implementation of treatment. She is also experienced in collaborating with other relevant stakeholders to ensure that patients/clients are supported holistically.
