Neftaly Equips SACAP Interns to Deliver Trauma Awareness Public Speaking
As part of its ongoing mission to create empowered and socially responsive communities, Neftaly (South African Youth Project) is proud to partner with SACAP (The South African College of Applied Psychology) to train interns in trauma-informed public speaking.
Through this partnership, SACAP psychology and counselling interns receive hands-on training from Neftaly professionals, preparing them to deliver trauma awareness talks to schools, youth groups, and community organizations. The program focuses on understanding the psychological impact of trauma, developing effective communication skills, and applying ethical, culturally sensitive approaches in public engagement.
The initiative not only enriches the professional development of interns, but also extends trauma education into vulnerable communities – fostering resilience, awareness, and access to support.
“Neftaly’s training has given me the confidence to speak to real audiences about real issues. I’ve learned how to engage with empathy and purpose,” says one SACAP intern.
By equipping future mental health professionals with public speaking skills rooted in trauma awareness, Neftaly and SACAP are building a bridge between education and community healing – one voice at a time.
