Gain the skills to create meaningful change in South Africa with the Masters Degree in Community Mental Health Promotion

Communities throughout South Africa are facing numerous multifaceted mental health challenges. However, there is a substantial gap between the scope of these challenges and the mental health resources available to address them.
