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

The Child Trauma Centre provides specialised holistic therapeutic services to children, adolescents and their families to assist them in the healing process from traumatic experiences.

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.
