Social Impact
Inside out
South Africa’s communities face daily challenges that deepen the gap between ideals and reality. SACAP, together with the SACAP Foundation, works to close this gap from the inside out by developing students at three levels:
A robust academic knowledge base.
Contextually relevant and practical skills.
A deepened self-understanding in relation to others.
By walking a growth journey with each of our students, we make sure that the personal transformation that takes place in the classroom ultimately translates into a broader social impact. Working in concentric circles from the inside out.
How SACAP is making a difference
SACAP Foundation
The primary purpose of the SACAP Foundation is to address the inadequate provision of mental health care services in South Africa. The Foundation seeks to be a positive force for change, oriented towards social justice and addressing the wide gap that exists between mental health service needs and available quality provision in disadvantaged and marginalised communities.
The Counselling Hub
The Counselling Hub is SACAP Foundation’s first project, and it is a response to the current structural and socio-economic barriers that make it almost impossible for the majority of South Africans to access affordable mental health care services. The Counselling Hub offers low-cost counselling services and focuses on psycho-educational programmes, advocacy and research in an effort to transform South Africa’s mental health landscape.

The Youth Hub is a SACAP Foundation initiative established in partnership with Groote Schuur Hospital Adolescent Centre of Excellence (ACE). At The Youth Hub, we understand that adolescence is a pivotal time when the seeds of confidence, resilience and self-awareness are sown. By fostering a nurturing environment, we aim to instil a strong sense of self-belief – allowing adolescents to navigate life’s complexities with strength and positivity.
