Douglasdale Victim Support Centre needs 3 volunteer trauma counsellor’s with basic trauma counselling skills.
Types of trauma dealt with:
Hi-Jacking
House Robberies
Business Robberies
Rape (don’t need to have rape counselling training, as one of the skilled rape counsellors will be called in)
Domestic Violence
Modus Operandi:
Monitor the dedicated victim support cellular phone for a period of 24 hours, once a week and one weekend a month. The phoned can be monitored from your home. Your flexibility is very important, as you might be called to a crime scene, and need to be there with in an hour. We always go in pairs, and members of SAPS will also still be on the scene.
It will be an advantage if you live in the area (approx. 20 minutes from the station).
Ongoing training will be available, as well as debriefing once a month with a Clinical
Psychologist.
If you are interested, please call me.
