The challenge

What schools are dealing with

Schools are expected to support student mental health without trained capacity.

Career guidance is often reduced to a single session in Grade 12.

Teachers spot concerns but have no structured referral path.

The EMI approach

How we work on it

✓ Qualified counsellors support students, parents and teachers.

✓ Career guidance is treated as a multi-year process, not a one-time event.

✓ Referral and confidentiality protocols are built into school systems.
