Do you know what to say when someone is going through a difficult time?

Would you like to work closely with people? Perhaps you are studying psychology, nursing, child welfare, or paramedicine? Or maybe you see yourself pursuing a future in HR and management?

Wherever you work with people, you will encounter conversations that do not always have easy answers.

Kirkens SOS invites you to a short, informal introduction to what it is like to volunteer for a crisis support service. As a volunteer, you will meet people in a wide range of life situations. They may be dealing with loneliness, grief, relationship difficulties, life’s challenges both big and small, as well as acute and long-term crises.

Here, you will have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful conversations while developing your own communication skills through supervised practice, with a focus on active listening, validation, and setting boundaries.

What do you say when someone is crying? When a friend tells you that life is hard to live? What do you do when you don't know what to say?

Stop by, have some pizza, and learn more about what you can learn, how you can help, and what it's really like to volunteer!
