Stephen Campbell and students travel to South Africa and Swaziland

Associate Professor Stephen Campbell and 8 CPS doctoral student volunteers traveled to South Africa and Swaziland on a humanitarian mission. The mission was part of the Seeds of Hope Outreach (SOHO), a U.S. based nonprofit organization. Along with Dr. Campbell, the students spent three days in Johannesburg, South Africa and twelve days in Swaziland delivering training on crisis intervention, substance abuse counseling, stress management, stigmatization, and suicide prevention. While in Swaziland, the team traveled to various towns and communities throughout the nation, visiting community centers, orphanages, churches, and schools. The team met with numerous groups addressing issues of orphan relief, HIV/AIDs, and substance abuse.
