As we journey through different stages of life, we may encounter various challenges that we may not be fully equipped to deal with (betrayal, debts, divorce, death of loved one, etc.) This may increase the chances of chronic high-stress levels, which may, in turn, compromise our abilities to create and maintain healthy and functional relationships. Subject to our individual subconscious adverse childhood experiences, adulthood traumatic experiences, and unfulfilled psychosocioeconomic expectations, the need for counselling for our well-being becomes essential.
At SA Men FIRST Foundation, we offer face-to-face and virtual counselling sessions for individuals, couples, families and groups. Our counselling approach is premised on a combination of counselling styles such as humanistic, behavioural and cognitive theoretical orientations
SA Men First Foundation cares for your well-being and understands that you may need a counsellor at any time ( 24/7) for your benefit. Potential clients who qualify for a subsidised or full complimentary grant to access counselling services may apply for this benefit for consideration. Forms are available upon request; terms and conditions apply.
