The purpose of the project was to provide teachers and learners in selected schools in the North West, Limpopo and Free State, with the knowledge and skills to better support their mental health and psycho/social well-being and to identify learners needing to be referred to mental health professionals. In 2025 the CIE mental health team decided to use trauma-informed care as the framework for the mental health program. A trauma-informed approach to mental health is a way of providing care that acknowledges the impact of trauma on people. It aims to prevent re-traumatization and is based on the understanding that trauma can affect people's biological, psychological and neurological development.
