Children in South Africa may be exposed to different emotional hurts or traumas in their homes and in their communities. Trauma can have an enormous impact on the psychological and emotional health of a child, can affect them in many different ways and for many years.

The Child Trauma Centre provides specialised therapeutic services to children, adolescents and their families to assist them in coping with and moving on from the traumatic experience/s.

The centre is staffed with highly experienced, specialised and compassionate therapists. Edith Kriel and Lizane Wilson, the founding members, are well known in the field of assessment and treatment of children who have been traumatised.
