PSV has strong links with psychological services in education, health, and police services. Networking with other NGOs is a priority, and PSV belongs to various NGO coalitions, such as the national Trauma Network, network on Violence Against Women, Victim Empowerment Programme, Southern African Torture Coalition, South African Network of Trauma Service Providers, and the South African National NGO Coalition, to name a few. Linking with community-based organizations within target communities is naturally a priority. PSV has an ongoing project on a networking directory for various resources for communities, NGOs, and CBOs in KwaZulu-Natal. Staff PSV currently has two offices, based in Durban and Pietermaritzburg.
All staff have community development and trauma counselling skills.
The number of requests from communities affected by violence requiring intervention is growing rapidly as the work of PSV becomes known. The current demands for work cannot currently be met, and PSV has a waiting list for community-based interventions. This means finding ways of extending the work beyond existing target communities, and several plans for this are in progress. Plans for the future include extending work with leadership in all areas. The newly established leadership forum offers leadership skills training in organizational skills, conflict resolution, understanding trauma, etc.
