Re: Volunteer work
hello@liberty
i have only just logged in.
so sorry that noone else has seen your post yet.
possibly has something to do with the time of year. i am not sure if there are moderators rostered on during this period or not.
i did do some volunteer work but not in the field of mental health. i would love to be able to, however i am too unwell and also take on others' pain.
i volunteered at an information centre until my illness worsened. I found that very interesting and i have always worked with people within my career.
It would be a very rewarding job if you are able to separate the work and your life.
i wish you every success if you choose to give it a try or even if you decide on something else, there are many volunteer options.

Re: Volunteer work
Hi @Former-Member
I know @Kurra and @Former-Member volunteer and love their experiences with it. I am looking at doing something this year too. I'm not sure if they are around to jump in. I'm not sure off the top of my head who else would be helpful. Best of luck with it

Re: Volunteer work
Sane is often looking for speakers as part of its Mindful Employer Program. Might be worth looking into if you like public speaking.

Re: Volunteer work
Hi @Former-Member, I am just looking up a few topics of interest to me and am curious to know how did you go with you're volunteering ? Did you find anything suitable ? Any links you could share?
