Cape Town, South Africa — [Insert Date]
Neftaly (Neftaly Youth Development Foundation) is proud to announce the successful launch of its latest training initiative, empowering psychology interns from the South African College of Applied Psychology (SACAP) with the essential skills for ethical group counselling facilitation.
In alignment with Neftaly’s mission to support youth development through education, mental wellness, and ethical leadership, this program offers SACAP interns real-world, supervised experience in delivering group counselling sessions. The training focuses on both practical facilitation techniques and ethical considerations, ensuring that interns are well-prepared to uphold professional standards in diverse community contexts.
“Our partnership with SACAP is grounded in a shared commitment to building capacity in the mental health space,” says [Insert Name], Programme Manager at Neftaly. “By training interns in ethical group work, we ensure they’re not only technically proficient but also ethically grounded — which is crucial in community-based counselling.”
Key elements of the training include:
- Understanding group dynamics and confidentiality
- Navigating ethical dilemmas in group settings
- Applying evidence-based counselling techniques
- Promoting inclusive and culturally sensitive practices
This initiative also allows SACAP interns to gain hands-on experience with vulnerable youth populations across Neftaly’s community programs, providing a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities in the South African mental health landscape.
Neftaly looks forward to expanding this collaboration with SACAP and other institutions, aiming to strengthen the future of ethical, community-oriented mental health services.
