LifeLine/Childline Western Cape introduced this programme into its core services, in response to violence and crime in the country. The after-effects of violent incidents can be distressing and disabling and have a crippling effect on work, relationships and home life.

Intervention to prevent these effects is not a luxury, but a necessity.
Individuals or groups who have been exposed to natural and manmade disasters, accidents, crimes of violence (e.g. mugging, rape, hijacking, murder, terrorism, assault, robbery, etc.) need to go through trauma debriefing in order to prevent physical, emotional and social problems from developing later on.

Both individuals and companies have approached us to do victim empowerment or trauma debriefing with people who have experienced trauma from violence of any sort. We have a team of fully trained counsellors who are much in demand. The service is offered to individuals, groups and businesses.

Call the LifeLine/Childline Western Cape’s Cape Town office on 021 461 1113 if you would like to find out more about this vital service.
