In celebrating 25 years of Eduweek, EAPA-SA proudly presents this year’s theme: “Weaving Threads of Wellness for 25 Years.” This milestone event, the silver anniversary of Eduweek, is more than a reflection on the past, it is a commitment to shaping the future of Employee Assistance in South Africa.

Silver, the symbol of strength, resilience, and brilliance, perfectly embodies the journey of Eduweek and the evolution of workplace wellness over the past quarter-century. It represents both the enduring legacy of EAPA-SA and its forward-thinking vision for a thriving, adaptable workforce.

As the workplace continues to evolve, so must the strategies that support employee well-being. Eduweek 2025 will explore critical themes such as psychological safety, diversity and inclusion, hybrid work models, and the integration of AI in wellness practices. Through expert-led discussions and practical insights, this event will equip professionals with the tools to foster resilient, innovative, and inclusive workplaces.

This silver anniversary is not just a celebration, it is a catalyst for progress. Together, we will continue to weave the threads of wellness, resilience, and transformation, ensuring that Employee Assistance remains a cornerstone of thriving workplaces for generations to come.

WHAT IS EAPA-SA EDUWEEK?

The EAPA-SA Eduweek is the largest annual gathering of EAP professionals in South Africa – the only event of its kind, attended by EAP and HR professionals from across Africa, Europe and the Americas. Eduweek endeavours to provide up to date information and thinking while offering a platform that fosters interactive communication around industry-related topics. This 4-day event takes place in an exciting venue each year. The event focuses on education, networking and peer engagement, and industry awards and recognition. EAPA-SA’s commitment to creating positive change through education and training is communicated in the event name.

WHY ATTEND?

Knowledgeable contributors will bring fresh perspectives on long-standing EAP challenges while sharing emerging trends and innovative strategies. Together, we will continue weaving the threads of wellness by fostering resilience, strengthening workplace well-being, and shaping the future of Employee Assistance in South Africa.

 

The EAPA-SA Eduweek provides a platform to learn from experts in the field as well as keeping abreast with the latest developments in the field. It carries a maximum of 16 continuous professional development (CPD) points which are mandatory to professionals in the field of employee health and wellness.

To obtain the continuous professional development (CPD) points which are required by the relevant professional statutory body as a mandatory requirement.

Eduweek brings together professionals, service providers and industry experts, showcasing the latest resources in the EA industry as well as providing opportunities to network with peers and industry leaders.
