Counseling for children in public schools in South Africa now

Counseling for children in public schools in South Africa now

The Issue

Children in model C schools, children in informal settlement schools, children in ALL schools deserve to receive sufficient primary health care. This includes mental health services and counseling. Yes, Educational Psychologist are appointed. But one professional therapist is not enough to support  6000+ learners. Our children deserve better. South African is in great need for School Counselors. 
Currently there are no Counselors in public primary schools. I would like to change this. Help me to prove that all children of South Africa deserve mental health services.
