~ Mrs Kgomotso Johanna Matlala ~
Ms. Matlala is a dedicated professional with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Sciences, which she obtained in 2005. Her career in social work began at FAMSA East Rand, where she served as a counsellor. She then advanced to Benoni Child Welfare before transitioning to Boksburg Child Welfare in June 2006.
Ms. Matlala joined the Gauteng Department of Social Development, where she has accumulated over 14 years of experience in the field of social work. During this time, she has specialized in working with children and youth in care centers, providing support to those facing neglect, abuse, and behavioral challenges. Her expertise lies in helping children overcome trauma and guiding them towards healing in the face of adversity. Additionally, Ms. Matlala has gained a deep understanding of various parenting styles, allowing her to effectively collaborate with parents from diverse backgrounds.
Ms. Matlala founded KM Wellness with the goal of navigating the complexities of private practice while maintaining her full-time position with the department. What began as a side project has evolved into a passion-driven initiative, with KM Wellness now supporting social workers in private practice as they establish themselves in the field. Currently, KM Wellness is assisting social workers in launching their own practices. To further promote growth and collaboration, Ms. Matlala has established a peer support group tailored for social workers in private practice.
The peer support group, currently led by an Occupational Therapist, is ready to grow by incorporating the expertise of a psychologist and a legal practitioner. This collaborative effort will transform the group into a comprehensive multi-disciplinary team (MDT), offering holistic support to its clients.
