LifeWatch Project

LifeWatch Services

A frontline crisis and trauma intervention service

“Trauma is an everyday event, natural and widespread.  Trauma impacts victims of ‘ordinary’ events such as traffic accidents, falls, illnesses, sudden losses and abuse as well as ‘extraordinary’ events such as natural disasters, violence, torture, terrorist attacks and war, labor camps and holocausts.”

In Disasters

A disaster can take many different forms, and the duration can range from an hourly disruption to days or weeks of ongoing destruction – both natural and man-made – that can impact a community.

     To be there when it matters

In Trauma

After any distressing or life-threatening event, psychological trauma may set in.  Sufferers may develop extreme anxiety, anger, sadness, or PTSD, or they may have ongoing problems with sleep or physical pain, and even relationships or self-esteem.  There are healthy ways of dealing with trauma.

Being there to guide you through the dark places is what LifeWatch is about.

     Seeing hope in dark places

In Crisis

There to support during the crisis, big or small.  And once the crisis has passed, we can provide referrals to health and community services that can provide longer-term care.

“when pain is to be born, a little courage helps more than much knowledge, a little human sympathy more than much courage, and the least tincture of the love of God more than all.” C S Lewis

 

We know 20% of the population exposed to trauma will develop PTSD or related mental health issues.  That’s enough of a reason, we think.

We also know that early intervention focusing on safety will reduce initial distress, flatten escalating emotions, realign confused thinking, as well as helping gather correct information, and offering practical assistance.  Being there when it matters is not only wise but truly humane.

 

“The cost of unresolved trauma to society is incalculable. Trauma has been correlated to physical and mental illness; learning disabilities; addictions; deviant or aggressive behaviour; polarisation of belief systems; racial, ethnic and religious intolerance and violence in individuals, in schools and communities, between groups and between nations.

“Trauma is treatable and preventable”

”A critical window of opportunity exists. Debriefing and discussing the events within 72 hours of an incident can help insure that people recover and don’t end up becoming permanent psychological casualties.”

 

This is where TRUST comes in!
