We are working with schools and we have evidence that our schools are going through a lot of stress. When a school is going through stress, then that schools becomes dysfunctional and learners do not perform well.
Parental support is needed. But the parents are going through their own stress. SGBs are trying their best, yet even themselves do not have skills to empower parents. Most parents take out their pain to their kids and there is chaos.
It is very unfortunate that our learners are going through a lot of stress, which comes from their homes and a lot also comes from a distressed school environment. When they are stressed, learners will not produce results.
General Assistants (GAs) and Admin Assistants (AAs) are stressed. They go through a lot and as a result, schools' maintenance and administration is affected, because they cannot cope and do not have skills to deal with pain.
Burnout, lack of focus, in-fighting, bullying, and interpersonal conflicts and underperformance is always attributed to uncontrolled stress amongst educators. A healthy educator produces healthy learners.
School Management Teams (SMTs) are stressed. Consequently, they cannot properly manage the school. Often, management is unable to assist staff that is stressed as well. Schools perform badly due to stress.
We run workshops in schools. They range from 4 hours, weekends and camps. These are geared towards making schools better learning and teaching environments, where every staff member feels free to express themselves.
We have coaching sessions where schools give us GAs, AAs, Educators, SMTs, and Principals to train them on Conflict resolutions, Stress Management, Burnout, etc. We customise our coaching to suit each school.
If schools wants parents to be involved, schools should invest resources to empower parents. We run workshops to empower SGBs on how to deal with their own stresses in order to govern effectively & support the school.
We run workshops to empower learners with skills to know how to identify, talk about and deal with stress. Learning to deal with stress is the best skill that each learner needs to have because it produces results.
We get invitation from GDE Head Office and various districts to intervene in schools which are underperforming, due to stress experienced in these schools. We will work with GDE to ensure Stress-Free Schools in Gauteng.
We are ready to send our detailed Business Profile to any school that requires our assistance. Schools can connect to us at info@stresscoach.co.za. SMT or SGB can call or Whatsapp us at 064 535 4273.

We developed a Stress Management Manual for South African Schools. It is a 50-page manual designed for Staff, SMT and SGB. It costs R 150 per manual. It is practical, relevant and highly interactive . It is loaded with real examples on why schools are experiencing stress, how stress affects productivity & causes underperformance and how to help learners and staff deal with stress. Discounts are available for bulk orders.
The founder of Stress Coach, Mzi Mngoma, started his professional life working for Gauteng Dept of Education. He worked in the school and then in 2 districts, where he was responsible for Employee Health and Wellness. The book talks about how he encountered and overcame many stresses in his life. In 2022, the book was selected by Department of Education for school libraries and schools always order it in big numbers.
Do you feel that you have tried everything and spoken to everyone and still you are experiencing so much stress in your life, that you don’t know what to do anymore? Are you in so much pain right now, that you can’t sleep and function the way you are supposed to? Do you feel that you are carrying all the problems of the world and you can’t take it anymore? This is a How-To book that will empower you to take back your power.
Many High School Learners often feel that, because they have made many mistakes, they are useless, unloved, and they don't have what it takes to pass their grades and become successful. These learners are looking down on themselves and feel incapable of being great. When schools buy the book, they would be empowering their learners with skills to gain confidence and to believe that they are NOT failures.
