Our volunteers are the backbone of what we do. They are professionals from diverse fields and are trained by us to deliver on our various services. There’s a need to constantly upgrade our skills to be able to pro-actively respond to changes in the environment. Every year we bring in mental health professionals to train our volunteers and to upgrade skills. From this year, we have also started our own training for new Listening Post volunteers. Our Smartphone volunteers also get trained in listening and senior citizen issues. We run training programmes, refresher courses, de-briefing sessions, self care programmes, so that our volunteers are well looked after, to be able to deliver well.
