Historically full training programmes for Professional Counsellors, Psycho-Therapists, Clinical and Industrial Psychologists have not existed in Tanzania. Training did not exist in part because there was not a demand for graduates in the marketplace.
Wellness Services Tanzania was formed with the vision that the private sector needed and would purchase Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP) and that this could fund the employment and training of professional psychologists in Tanzania.
In this way, the professional practice of psychology could be established in Tanzania through establishing the industry of EAP.
What was once a dream, has become a reality.
