About this project
Barbara L. from CASE Hanover Park is responsible for this project
CASE was started by Lane Benjamin, a Clinical Psychologist, who identified a need for trauma intervention due to a rising level of prevalent violence and a definite decline in relational values. To this day CASE is run by volunteers of all ages drawn from the community of Hanover Park and has become an effective catalyst for transformation.
Violence is perhaps the most damaging legacy of South Africa's political history. Socially sanctioned violence has filtered into the most private places - the home and the family. It is having a devastating impact on individuals, families, schools and neighbourhoods. The cycle can be broken!
CASE uses a 4-pronged approach to intervening in violent communities through:
1. Psychology-based Counselling to reduce the effects and consequences of living in a violent community
2. Awareness-raising to normalise the effects of violence and to educate around related issues
3. Community development projects where training is delivered and skills can be taught to equip community members
4. Networking and developing partnerships with like-minded agencies to unite against the scourge of criminal violence and gangsterism
