Outreach Foundation, in collaboration with Musina’s Department of Social Development, went to Rehoshebah Independent Academy in Musina on Friday, 9th June 2023, to mark the end of Child Protection Week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the intervention, Outreach Foundation’s social workers spoke to the children about what to do in the event of child abuse, violence, rape, substance abuse and bullying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The children were asked what they thought each topic was about and were encouraged to share their thoughts about each. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, they were taught a song that was easy to remember regarding what to do in the event that someone touches their bodies inappropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another topic raised was financial abuse. The social workers explained what this was and how it can impact the children. This was a fairly unknown topic to the children, who were surprised that there was such a thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Child Protection Week took place from 29th May to 5th June 2023. It is a week commemorated annually to raise awareness of the rights of children as articulated in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and the Children’s Act (Act 38 of 2005).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outreach Foundation’s counselling department offers the following:
* Family preservation services such as crisis intervention, individual counselling,
couple counselling, trauma counselling, gender-based violence counselling and
support, family reunification, and school placements<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Migrant support services <\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Substance abuse support such as pre-rehab intake and preparation, counselling
and aftercare processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The department also advocates for children’s rights, school placement, access to hospitals, access to food and shelter and facilitation of documentation applications and hosts workshops on gender equity and gender-based violence, economic empowerment for men and women, parenting, career guidance, substance abuse, human rights and labour issues and immigration challenges and documentation awareness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
