North Durban team offers free counselling to frontline workers

All Covid-19 protocols will be in place during the counselling sessions.

THE North Durban Victim Support team is reaching out to people working on the frontlines of the Covid-19 pandemic to offer free, confidential counselling to them and their families. 
 
 

Chantel Cromer-Wilson, a counsellor from the team said: “We get to know a lot of the frontline workers through other cases we work with. We see that this is a difficult time for them and we would love to offer them the support that they require during this difficult period.”

She said frontline workers include paramedics, police, nurses and doctors and their families

“We feel that the pandemic has also had an impact on frontline workers’ families and would also like to give them support as we know their family members are working longer hours than usual,” said Cromer-Wilson.

The North Durban Victim Support team is a non-profit organisation made up of a group of dedicated and trained volunteers who offer trauma debriefing for victims of crime, short term debriefing and counselling to the community free of charge.
 
 
All Covid-19 protocols will be in place during counselling sessions.
