Advocacy and lobbying
Equitable distribution of services for disadvantaged people to ensure access and impact for services such as:
- School placements
- Access to hospitals
- Access to food and shelter
- Facilitation of documentation applications.
Family Preservation
The impact of violence, abuse and dysfunctional families can be very traumatic and leave lifelong scars of deeply-rooted emotional wounds in the heart of an individual and the community. We, as the Counselling, Care and Support Unit, and as part of the Outreach Foundation, contribute positively towards the prevention of violence and abuse through restoring the moral fibre of society by providing counselling, advocacy, capacity building, community-based research and the provision of a mental ‘safe space’.
We offer the following services:
- Crisis intervention
- Individual counselling
- Couple counselling
- Trauma debriefing
- Gender-based violence counselling and support
- Family reunification
- School placements
Migrant Support
The migrant support unit of the Outreach Foundation aims to assist those seeking a better life as they navigate the difficult process of settling in South Africa, and to support them in addressing past challenges they may have faced in their homelands. We hope to combat xenophobia and unfairness and provide counselling to those affected.
