The District-Based Support Team at Ekangala District, during the week leading up to the funeral of the said learner, provided counselling to the learner’s classmates and the class teacher. Beyond the classroom, considering the limited human resources for the counselling, a broad screening assessment was undertaken in the school to identify and target learners and educators that may require psychosocial support the most. In addition, the family members were also given psychosocial support.
