OUR SERVICES
?Individual counselling sessions
Short-term individual counselling or therapy is offered to registered SU students only. Once you have been screened and depending on the nature of your challenge, the counsellor or psychologist will work with you to find the best possible solution.?
Group counselling sessions
Certain challenges are better managed in a group setting, where you can find support from peers who are experiencing similar problems or challenges. The Unit hosts several therapeutic and support group sessions, each with a very specific focus. During screening, the counsellor will advise you on the group process and make the necessary referral.
Work Study Programme
The Work Study Programme allows students to gain work experience while studying. These students earn a minimal income per month to assist with their financial need. The aim of this programme is to aid students who find themselves under financial strain regarding basic essential needs such as food, books, and as well other necessities. Applications for the 2023 programme are now open. Download and submit your completed? application form and attach your CV before or on Friday, 18 November 2022 to Lizzie Witbooi at lgwitbooi@sun.ac.za.
Due to limited funding, we can only accommodate a limited number of students. The successful applicants will sign an 8-month working agreement and will be required to work a maximum of 20 hours per month.
?Food assistance
We realise many students face challenges around access to food. The Unit has food assistance programmes in place to assist you if you need support. The Social Workers do a holistic assessment, when a student requests assistance in this regard. If you would like to access food assistance, e-mail supportus@sun.ac.za, or phone 021 808 4994 (Stellenbosch Campus) or 021 927 7020 (Tygerberg Campus).?
