Get Involved

Our volunteers come from all ages, races, religions and walks of life. They are people who are willing to spend some of their time each week supporting those who are in need. 


If you can listen to people share their problems in a caring, supportive and non-judgmental manner, we’d like to meet you!

Training


The Befrienders Training Course is a creative learning process

where you will learn listening skills, giving you the knowledge and

confidence to support callers in crisis. You will gain experience of

the types of calls that you may receive through practice, exercises

and group discussions. You will learn how to respond to callers

using Befrienders principles and practices.


In the process, you will gain greater self-awareness which may

lead to the questioning of your own assumptions. This will help

prepare you to listen in a more open and non-judgmental manner.

The whole training period, which involves workshop sessions and 

supervised on-the-phone practice, is about six months.
