TraumaCall has been established in South Africa at a time when our people are bleeding emotionally, and the country is in desperate need of healing. High crime levels are traumatising our citizens daily and many are struggling to get the professional trauma defusing and debriefing they need, in the time required to reduce the likelihood of complications like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Until TraumaCall was established, South Africa lacked a nationwide trauma counselling service that incorporated all available trauma counsellors into a single countrywide network that could respond immediately to the needs of individuals or groups, wherever they were. With the high levels of violent crime in our country, this is an essential service.
