The Trauma Centre offers training on request in the Western and Eastern Cape. Training courses are adapted to suit the particular needs of each group.

The Trauma Centre also offers once off trauma awareness psycho-education workshops, especially in workplaces. These workshops are a preventative approach to Post Traumatic Stress Response and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

We also specialise in training volunteers to offer trauma support. These are long-term training programmes with the aim of establishing `trauma rooms’ for victim support at state institutions such as schools and police service centres.
