About Us
In 2007 an article appeared in the Northglen News about a lady that needed
assistance after a traumatic experience and no one was willing to assist her at
the police station, so she was subjected to going back to the abusive situation
with a small child. I realized the immediate need for assistance for victims at
police stations and began to work on the concept of trauma counseling for victims
in the Durban North/Umhlanga area. My aim was to establish some sort of support
system to assist the police and members of the community when having to deal
with traumatic situations.

After investigation I discovered, that there is a desperate need for after hours
counseling for victims of house break-ins, muggings, hijacking, abuse, rape,
drug abuse etc. It was also apparent that policemen and women, who deal with many
traumatic events on a daily basis, were in need of counseling. Armed with this information
I approached Senior Superintendent T. Gonya and Captain B. Mayaba at the Durban North
Police Station who offered their full support to the project.
