I have been advocating for the scaled implementation of high-impact CBT interventions in South Africa in general during my time at the University of the Western Cape this year. Their might be request for ensuring it is tailored to be culturally sensitive/relevant (if not already).
I have forwarded your post to our Deputy HOD of Postgraduate Studies in the Department of Psychology for them to reach out to you (fingers crossed). I’ve also offered her (and now you) my assistance, perhaps as the single point of contact to lighten her load and see it through if UWC would like to enter into this, or perhaps also as a facilitator. You may need to speak to her regarding any regulatory loopholes (it might need to be pitched in a way that does not bring it into conflict with local regulatory bodies as practicing outside of scope, but I am sure you have thought about this for all/most countries).
Let me know if you need any further assistance in this regard or otherwise.
Hello Dr. Akin
I hope you are well
