Careline Crisis was established in 1995 and has developed the following services focused on healing lives: SERVICES CRISIS TEAMS “Sometimes our light goes out, but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light” Albert Schweitzer It is universally accepted that when people who have been seriously traumatized are provided support immediately after events, that their recovery is far more effectively achieved, as well as much quicker, than when too much time elapses after the event. Shifting their attention (paradigm) from the despair of the moment, to hope, makes all the difference. It is with this motivation in mind that these crisis teams were established that are now bringing much relief from suffering, as well as restoration. Team members attend scenes of crisis such as murder, rape, domestic violence, suicide, hi-jacking, child and adult abuse, drug or alcohol abuse, etc., to provide support. The members, all volunteers, operate on a 24 hour call-out basis. They are either called by the police, security companies or the public. They provide emotional and practical support to victims and their families. |
