Does the student wellness navigator/student counsellor administer medication?
The Student Wellness Navigator is a registered professional, registered with either the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) as a registered counsellor or with the South African Council for Social Service Professionals (SACSSP) as a registered social worker, therefore they are not licenced nor governed to administer medication or write prescriptions. The Student Wellness Navigator may recommend and refer students to an external Mental Health or Medical practitioner who would be best positioned to assist with the student’s treatment needs.
Should you require additional information regarding the wellness services, booking a counselling consultation or referral options, please reach out to your Student Wellness Navigator.
