Abstract
In 2012, the South African government initiated the Integrated School
Health Policy (ISHP) to serve as a national guideline on providing school health and
support services from key stakeholders such as the Department of Health (DoH),
Department of Basic Education (DBE) and Department of Social Development (DSD).
However, despite the ISHP regulations, publications report that teachers in underresourced government schools are not sufficiently equipped to address their learners’
psychosocial challenges.
