Six Seconds is an emotional intelligence network promoting best practices via methods and tools that are global, scientific, and transformational. We teach the skills of emotional intelligence to fill the "missing link" needed for people to become more aware, intentional, and purposeful so individuals, teams, organizations, families, schools, and communities flourish.
We believe that "mental health is a human birthright". Too many people in the world have no access to any mental health service. To alleviate this, we offer a systematic approach of trauma-informed, well-being practices that are culturally relevant and globally accessible. We do this in 3 ways. First , we provide a reflective experience for replenishment and personal growth for current and future healers and educators. Next, we train NGO staff to deliver trauma-informed practices to the vulnerable populations they work with. Finally, we promote well-being by mentoring individuals and facilitating groups in communities globally. We believe in the power of non-judgemental expression and the healing power of our bodies and in being heard, seen, and loved.

The Student Division is centered on the core values of ethical development of psychology students and aims to create a space to gain insight into the discipline, academically and practically. By providing mentorship opportunities, we believe that knowledge can be organically transferred between students who would not have the access to the relevant resources and inspire collaboration among students and professionals. We recognise that transformation of the discipline is imperative to realise a truly inclusive approach to psychological services in South Africa. By facilitating community engagement, we aim to inspire students to one day become professionals that give back to the community. We endeavour to always listen to our fellow students and acknowledge that the student journey is not always a clear path, thus we strive to be a comprehensive repository of psychology student guidance. By enabling knowledge dissemination, we also focus strongly on developing and connecting Psychology Societies, unified in the spirit of serving, to promote mental health services for all in South Africa. Through our various subcommittees listed below, we aim to achieve the above-mentioned ideals: Community Development, Frequently Asked Questions, Media & Marketing, Multidisciplinary, National Mentorship Programme, Public Relations, Psychology Student Societies on Campus, Research into Student Empowerment, Student Representatives Council, and Transformation.
