Area(s) of Interest

Restorative practices/justice - Mainly deals with the positive development of children and staff in schools and environments where there are children present. With restorative practices there is a move away from a punishment-based to a restorative system. In the new Child Justice Act, the concept of restorative justice is addressed. Attention is given to the development of emotional intelligence and other positive ways in which children and their carers/teachers can be supported to deal with problems with discipline and to prevent negative behaviour.

Adventure therapy - The focus on adventure therapy is to empower the therapist to therapeutically enter the world of the client/clients by means of activities and through the use of different aids. Outcomes of adventure therapy include a heightened self-knowledge, effective team work and cooperation in a group, improvement in communication and listening skills, risk taking, the setting of personal goals, creative problem solving and experiencing success. These outcomes are continuously linked to the therapeutic aims of the client, thus ensuring that the social functioning of the client is improved. The therapy is utilised for children, as well as adults.

School social work - Social work in South African schools is becoming more prominent.  National policy documents and various role players refer to the need for social services to learners. Social workers can contribute in creating a learning environment that is available, accessible, acceptable and adaptable.  In doing so the psychosocial development of learners are increased and the educational outcomes and success improved.
