Daar is soveel uitdagings wat tieners daagliks moet hanteer en mee gekonfronteer word. Covid 19 en die grendeltyd het hul lewens verder gekompliseer en die uitdagings selfs meer gemaak.
In 2021 het die gemeenskap die inisiatief geneem om die laerskool se voorbeeld te volg en ‘n Therapy Shack by Hoërskool Warmbad te vestig. Lourette van Heerden-de Swardt is as berader aangestel om dienste vanuit die Therapy Shack te lewer.
Die Therapy Shack bied aan die leerders ‘n veilige plek waar hulle binne ‘n vertroulike omgewing kan gesels oor die dinge wat hulle pla en die uitdagings wat hul beleef.
Die volgende dienste word vanuit die Therapy Shack gelewer:
- Persoonlike berading – om emosionele- en verhoudingsuitdagings aan te spreek.
- Krisis/trauma berading – na traumatiese gebeure
- Ouerondersteuning en gesinsberading
- Individuele berading en groepe vir gedragsmoeilike kinders
- Inligtings-en voorkomingsprogramme – om sosiaal/maatskaplike tendense in die skool en gemeenskap aan te spreek bv. verslawing/boelie-gedrag
