Hey Psych.O.S. friends,
The digital crisis line Youthspace.ca is currently recruiting voluneers for two training groups in the spring (February and May start dates). We’re especially looking to recruit for the Februrary group right now.
We find many of our volunteers come to us because they are looking for experience in providing support to folks. We provide 40 hours of training which includes ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skiills Training – a world-recognized suicide intervention program) and a heavy focus on active listening. Volunteers need to be able to commit to 140 hours over 12-18months, roughly one 3-4hour shift per week.
For more info and to apply, people should visit our site: youthspace.ca/volunteer
Thank you very much,
Liz
