Befrienders Ipoh will, once again, be organising training sessions for new hotline volunteers.

In this training, volunteers will learn about:
- Essentials of Befriending

- Active Listening
- Mental Health Literacy
Befrienders are looking for individuals who:
- are open-minded and embrace inclusivity
- can dedicate 3 hours per week as volunteers
- are committed to continually improving their befriending skills, as well as the overall development of the befriending programme
- have a strong desire to give back and make a positive impact
This training will be broken down to 3 sessions to be held on April 26, April 30 and May 3.
