Developmental & Psychosocial Workshops
Workshops aim to develop skills and enhance understanding through group processes and peer interaction. Developmental workshops focus on promoting academic success and include skills development in areas such as time management, goal setting and motivation, exam preparation, stress management, and learning styles. Other workshops explore psychosocial issues such as relationships, gender, sexuality, diversity, and adjustment to university life.
Support groups and forums are facilitated by our psychologists and are offered on a needs basis to a small group of students who may share similar experiences. Therefore members of a support group will be required to sign a confidentiality contract that binds them to keep all information shared in sessions confidential.
We advocate on behalf of students in special circumstances. We also embark on special campaigns that seek to raise awareness of social and community issues that have a bearing on the well-being of our students.
