Steve & Dr. Bernie Dalgety
The Centre was established in 1999 by Steve
Dalgety, with the specific purpose to address the
ever-increasing number of victims of crime. History
reflects that shortly after the 1994 elections, the
crime rate in South Africa increased in levels which
left the existing helping professions and
professionals, unable to deal with the sudden influx
of victims. One year later Dr. Bernie joined the team
and with her social work background immediately
improved the supervision and administrative skills to
an already highly skilled team.

In many instances, these victims came from an array of social backgrounds as crime was perpetrated against the population and did not target a specific ethnic group. Many of these victims could not afford the therapeutic help that they deserved, and in many cases, the help they required to continue their lives with some resemblance of normality.
Based on the understanding that the effects of trauma are rarely repairable and are at best managed, the founders decided to call the trauma centre the Alpha House.managed, the founders decided to call the trauma centre the Alpha House.
Piet & Eileen from a private security company called Alpha Security & Alarms has being the sole champion’s of this cause since the commencement of the Centre in 1999, and the Founders felt it fitting to call the Centre, Alpha House.
Naturally the word Alpha implies the “first”, the “beginning” and therapists at “Alpha House” as it is affectionately known, believe that everybody deserves another “beginning”, as if it were their “first” time. If one allows yourself to flow with the concept, we at the centre, believe everybody deserves a second chance at life no matter their race, creed or religious orientation.
