Lives With A Purpose Foundation is a non-profit organisation whose core focus is to provide emotional support to communities without discrimination of financial affordability.

We approach this in 3 phases

To build and equip volunteers with Debriefing skills that allow them to enter the initial phase of emotional support – developing teams of Emotional Paramedics.

  • This is achieved through in-person and online training platforms and
  • Recruiting and monitoring in-field support

Networking with professionals to provide ongoing support through Counseling, Psychotherapy, and Alternate Trauma Support Therapy.

Community Projects: Good Neighbour Project & mentorship partnerships supporting the Junior Community Policing Forums to educate young adults on the importance of self-care and caring for their communities.

South Africa is a criminal hub that affects all aspects of the community and an individual’s ability to break negative and ineffective coping skills that ripple throughout society, debilitating everyone exposed to the trauma of crime, loss and violence. At Lives With A Purpose Foundation, we believe that many criminal activities are a result of unaddressed trauma and the lack of coping skills to break the cycle of learned behaviour and environmental trauma:

To heal our communities is:

  • Each person’s responsibility – because we live in the community and who we are and
    how we function affects those around us and vice versa, and
  • To be effective in (a), we need to have a firm foundation and appreciation of who WE as individuals are – then we know how and where to contribute to our own lives and those around us.

We appeal to you and/or your organisation to participate in our program to build a stronger emotionally healthy community by helping to combat:

  • Individual trauma
  • Community trauma
  • Workplace trauma
  • Learned & repetitive domestic abuse
  • Gang violence
  • Gender based violence
  • Dis-empowerment
  • Hopelessness
  • Suicide
  • Poverty mindset

…The list goes on
