Programmes and Services are provided to:
We offer free, confidential, professional individual and group counselling services, which are supplemented by self-help programmes and workshops, to Nelson Mandela University students on all campuses. A wide variety of self-help resources such as brochures and workshop content are available on our website and our physical resource centres in all campuses where student counselling is offered: South, North, 2nd Avenue, George and Missionvale Campuses. Numerous programmes are presented and are packaged in relation to academic issues, career choice and planning, personal, social and emotional issues, and wellness. Students interested in personal growth to improve learning skills, relationships, health or lifestyles are invite.
In executing its mission, ESW offers three broad ‘umbrella’ areas of service delivery to Nelson Mandela University students. The three service areas relate to the psychology of learning, career development, and psychological wellbeing. Each service area is planned and driven by a specific team, each with its own coordinator.
Students are also indirectly served by ESW staff serving on institutional and faculty committees and collaborative project teams, by conducting research on students and their behaviours, and by disseminating research findings to the university community.
