Substance abuse is the one for the leading contributor to unnatural deaths in South Africa. In this episode we speak to Dr. Sue Bond from the University of Johannesburg (UJ). Dr. Bond holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. Her masters looked at couples and families while her D. Litt et Phil focused on the development of possible selves and resilience in young people about to leave residential care (child and youth care centres). Dr. Bond’s current research looks into youth in care, and those transitioning from care. In addition to her research work, Sue has had a long career in child protection providing statutory services, worked in couples and family counselling, adoptions, and in a shelter with abused women and their children. Her commitment to working with families has also been evident in her work in schools, oncology and rehabilitation, as well as managing an inpatient facility for substance abuse. Enjoy.
