Higher Health recently supported Northern Cape Rural TVET College, Kuruman Campus during its TVET Month awareness campaign under the theme “TVET for All: Skills, Opportunities and Change.”

The campaign provided a platform for students to engage on critical issues affecting their health, wellbeing and safety, including Gender-Based Violence (GBV), r**e, su***de and substance abuse, while connecting them with information and available support services.

Higher Health Campus Care Worker Thabo Mokoto conducted a Risk Assessment with students, supporting the identification of potential risks and encouraging early access to appropriate support.

The engagement also brought together Thuthuzela Care Centre, FAMSA, SAPS and ANOVA, who shared information on prevention, reporting procedures and support pathways.

Kurara FM further amplified the campaign by engaging speakers, Peer Educators and students through interviews focused on the importance of awareness, prevention and access to support.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A P.E.E.R?

P.E.E.R stands for Personality, Educator, Energy and Resilience reflecting the qualities of students who use their voices, knowledge and influence to support and uplift their peers.

Through the “Each One, Reach & Teach Ten” approach, every Peer Educator is empowered to reach and support 10 young South Africans within the PSET system.

One P.E.E.R. can reach ten. Ten can reach many more.

Higher Health in collaboration with the University Of Venda (UNIVEN) recently welcomed a new cohort of Peer Educators.

With the support of Higher Health Campus Care Worker, Ms Tshepiso Mphidi, the training equipped our P.E.E.Rs with knowledge and practical skills across Higher Health key focus areas, including Gender-Based Violence (GBV), mental health, HIV and sexual health, substance use, student safety, and peer support and referral pathways.

Rooted in Personality, Educator, Energy and Resilience, our P.E.E.Rs are students who understand the student experience and are equipped to use their voices to promote healthier, safer and more supportive campus communities.

As they begin their 2026/2027 journey, we carry the reminder: WE ARE WHO WE ARE BECAUSE OF YOU.

Higher Health in collaboration with Durban University of Technology, HIV & AIDS Centre hosted the Annual Silent Protest against Gender-Based Violence (GBV).

Under this year’s theme, “Silence Speaks,” the campaign highlighted that silence may reflect fear, trauma or a cry for help. Students were encouraged to look beyond silence, create safe spaces for conversation and support those who may struggle to speak out.

Higher Health University Coordinator Mr Oziel Mdletshe delivered a message of support, emphasising the importance of speaking out against GBV and strengthening awareness and access to psychosocial support, referrals and assistance for students affected by GBV and mental health challenges.
