The overall aim of the WAVE Trauma Centre as a cross-community, voluntary, regional organisation is to offer care and support to anyone bereaved, injured or traumatised through the ‘Troubles’ of Northern Ireland.
Since its establishment in 1991, WAVE has offered direct support to over 5,000 individuals; a cross-section of adults, young people and children with over 2,000 people currently engaged in support provision. Typically, over 650 new referrals are received across the organisation each year.
Service delivery includes Counselling; Complementary Therapy; Welfare Advice; Outreach support & Peer Support; Creative and Psycho-Educational projects, Accredited Trauma Training; Transgenerational / Youth services; Advocacy & Casework Service; Truth, Justice & Acknowledgement. Services are delivered regionally across five project centres located in Belfast, Omagh, Armagh, Derry / Londonderry and Ballymoney with associated satellite provision.
Recent developments include the expansion of Clinical Services provision in rural areas and the extension of Trauma Training into Bosnia Herzegovina. If you have been affected by the Troubles and need someone to talk to, please contact us for help.
