Volunteering Experience
Samaritans Support Volunteer, Birmingham Branch, 05/2024, PRESENT, Completed comprehensive training to provide emotional support to individuals in distress or experiencing challenging situations. As a Samaritans volunteer, I actively listen, offer empathy, and create a safe space for callers to express their feelings without judgment. My role requires strong communication skills, emotional resilience, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. This experience has enhanced my understanding of mental health issues and equipped me with valuable skills in active listening, compassion, and maintaining confidentiality.
