A fantastic initiative in the ranges 🙏🩵
Could you be the steady presence someone in distress needs?
At Safe Space, we welcome people who are in emotional or suicidal distress who need to be heard, not fixed.
And sometimes, the most powerful support comes from someone who’s been there too.
We’re looking for Peer Supporters at our Community-Led Safe Space in Woodend. We need volunteers with lived experience of su***de, whether that means:
đź’™having felt suicidal yourself
đź’™supporting someone in crisis
đź’™or grieving a loss to su***de
Your story, your presence, and your listening could help someone else feel less alone.
You don’t need qualifications, just empathy and the courage to sit with someone in their pain, without judgement.
You’ll be supported through:
đź’» Self-paced online training
🧠A one-day online workshop
🤝 Ongoing training, support and debriefs with MRSPAG & Roses in the Ocean
You can make a difference; because when we show up for each other, we create hope.
