She felt it was unjust, especially as many women had no access to income and thus could not pay for lifesaving services that they needed due to abuse and violence they did not perpetrate against themselves. Rolene decided that something needed to be done to empower women with their rights and ensure that they access lifesaving services at no cost after having experienced abuse- and so in November 1993, MOSAIC Training Service and Healing Centre was founded. 

MOSAIC was setup to train women with problem solving therapeutic skills to serve as lay community counsellors in order to educate and support abused women in their communities – as such it provided a community-centered solution. Many of the trained community counsellors had experienced domestic and intimate-partner violence, and they first went through the training as participants- healing themselves and then later becoming practitioners. These community workers saw gaps and opportunities as they engaged women that by 1996, MOSAIC had established its first community-based service site in Philippi, Cape Town where women at the site served as companions to domestic violence survivors, attending court with them to offer translation services as at the time, the paperwork was in English and Afrikaans, excluding black women from accessing justice. This accompaniment to court led to MOSAIC establishing its Court Support Service Programme in 1997 in the Mitchell’s Plain Magistrates Court and made an indelible mark as the first non-governmental organisation in South Africa to offer support to survivors of domestic violence in courts. Since then, MOSAIC has trained over 90 community workers, expanded to 19 courts in the Western Cape, Gauteng and Tshwane with plans to scale the court support services across all nine provinces by 2034!
