Our team at Malibu High School shared this story with us:

"I was walking on the school grounds and observed children who had been CK clients in counselling. Learners who once struggled with social anxiety are confidently walking around and making new friends. Learners who once struggled with motivation are now motivated. Learners who once isolated themselves are now more confident.

One learner commented in a session, “Before I came to CK I was very broken. After each therapy session I picked up all the broken pieces and today I feel whole again".

It is a great feeling to hear them describe their own before and after counselling.”

Thank you Nation Builder, GBVF Response Fund1 and Capitec for funding our work at Malibu High School!

Gerrit always values spending the day with Prof Bronwyne Coetzee's Honours students at Stellenbosch University, Department of Psychology. It's an opportunity to share some of our experiences, new innovations and challenges - and to gather fresh ideas and insight.

Today we partnered with the City of Cape Town waste management team, talking to the younger grades about keeping our environment clean and tidy. Our environment has an impact on our mental health and wellbeing.

Through song and dance, we all learnt the importance of keeping your environment clean and reducing waste by recycling waste material.

Thank you Bingo for visiting Petunia Primary today. The best way to learn is through play.

Did you know ...

A 2024 study by Heleen Hofmeyer on teacher preferences and job satisfaction in South Africa, revealed that half of all teachers had considered leaving the profession due to stress from managing learners’ psychosocial issues.

Teachers at our partner schools have access to individual support as well as professional development sessions that promote coping skills, motivation and sense of belonging 💛

Meeting conduct with consistency and care

Many of the referrals that come through our office are for conduct.

One such learner - after regular check-ins and patience - felt safe enough to start opening up. Our team was able to make the necessary referrals, and the consistent intervention started having an effect.

The learner became more self-aware, more reflective, and began to take responsibility for his own choices. He expressed heartfelt gratitude for the CK office, sharing how much it meant to him to be treated with kindness and understanding. He said he felt comfortable, seen, and heard, something he seldom experienced.

It takes time. It takes effort. But consistent care, empathy, and connection can be the difference in a young person’s journey.
