The Trauma Centre staff works with volunteers in the communities where we deliver counselling services. The volunteers refer clients and recruit therapeutic groups to benefit from our registered counselling services.
We also welcome registered counsellors to volunteer at our offices in Woodstock in order to assist us to increase our reach the most vulnerable.
We also welcome people who are willing to collect toiletries and non-perishable foodstuff for distribution to our clients.
Leaving a bequest in your will, ultimately contributes to the long term sustainability of the organisation and insures that services could continue for the most vulnerable members of society.
“I enjoyed attending the trauma and bereavement course and learning how people experience and respond to trauma. The course was facilitated with enthusiasm and preparation, which made it an overall great learning experience.”
“Because of the mediation session with me and my husband, he is no longer abusing me and our relationship is much better”
“After the counselling, I can wear the clothes again that I wore on the day I was raped, I can go now go on with my life”
“I see big difference, a smile after very long time they was so confident and they gain hope once more”
“I see acceptance….I was in fear to be among them….now I can face community”
“We need genuine friendships naturally without being labelled as the group from Delft and refugee group”
“I leant that you can’t respect others, if you don’t respect yourself”
We are dead inside because of GBV, because of this programme our children might have a better chance in the future”
“It has been rewarding to see children who have gone through the therapeutic process achieving positive outcomes. Some have quit smoking at a very young age. Some went back to school through the emphasis of the importance of education.”
“I have had counselling before, but this was the first time in my home language. I feel I can express myself”
“The son of one of our clients, who was abused by him for years, has been arrested”
“To be in work for every shift make me feel good, I don’t want to leave early I’m also coming earlier at work in the mornings, my energy is coming back”
“We used to discipline our women….. now I know it is a crime”
