Description

This is for the people of Townsville.

 

You’ve felt the concern: What if someone breaks into your home?

Or you’ve experienced it: Your home has been robbed, and maybe more than once.

 

Townsville has been plagued by a culture of opportunistic break-ins overnight, when people are often in their homes sleeping. According to the Queensland Police Service (2023), there were 5,157 counts of unlawful entry in Townsville in 2022- an increase on previous years. And, it’s been increasing over the last four years.

 

Home is supposed to be your secure, safe place. It has a psychological impact when your safe place is violated. And you don’t even have to be robbed to be affected: there are many people in Townsville who haven’t been robbed, but who worry about robbery because of the high crime rate.

 

This e-book is for you if:

̴  You have ever been concerned you might get broken into.

̴  Your home has been robbed.

̴  You want to know what to do immediately after a break-in.

̴  You want to effectively manage the emotional impacts of a break-in.

̴  You want to gain the psychological tools to recover and move forward after a break-in- because sometimes the effects can be long-lasting.

̴  You’re unsure whether you need additional support after a break-in.

̴  You want to know how to manage your thoughts and anxiety about getting broken into, or to cope as effectively as possible after a break-in.

 

This e-book offers practical and quality psychological skills to manage the impacts of home invasion and robbery, reduce anxiety and stress, and help you feel comfortable in your home again.
