Over the past year South Africa has seen the highest year on year increase in Hijack statistics that we have ever experienced. From our early indications for this year, 2016 will continue with the escalation. Gauteng had a 14% increase and Cape Town an alarming 60% increase, these statistics cannot be ignored, running away is not the solution but we can pro actively tackle the problem.
TBS Services for the past 20 years have been the leading Hijack prevention training provider and each year our training course saves hundreds of lives.
The one element that separates TBS Services from any other service provider is that all our facilitators are Trauma counsellors and trauma specialists. This is essential for two reasons; firstly, hijacking is a very sensitive topic and unless it is handled with the full understanding of human emotion and psychology the course could have the effect of leaving the delegates paranoid and fearful. Secondly should a delegate who has experienced a hijacking attend the course, if it is not handled by a trained trauma specialist there is a very real possibility of relapsing into PTSD, however, handled in the correct way will assist them in recovering and taking back control.
