Скачать или смотреть UJ PsyCaD: Students offer advice on suicide prevention

At the University of Johannesburg, we are acutely aware that our students are under immense pressure. This pressure may be related to financial difficulties, academic challenges or relationship problems. At times these difficulties may become overwhelming to such an extent that students, and even staff members, may consider desperate measures. UJ has a number of support mechanisms in place to assist students and staff members who may be feeling desperate.

Our Centre for Psychological Services and Career Development (PsyCaD) offers assistance primarily to students (and to staff in times of crises) in numerous ways, which include a walk-in service (no appointment necessary) at all our offices on the different campuses, individual counselling sessions as well as our 24-hour Crisis Line (082 054 1137). Students get assistance from Campus Health and Student Affairs. University staff may also approach the Human Resource Division which has in place comprehensive Employee Wellness programmes.
