Every day for over 40 years TELL’s Lifeline has provided support to people all across Japan. We save lives, and we need help, so if you’re interested in giving back to the community in some way, we’re now accepting applications for our springtime volunteer phone counselor training module.
Training takes place over a nine-week period, and most of the training is conducted online at times that suit you, with three Saturday workshops. You will have the opportunity to join group discussion forums, watch video presentations and practice your skills with trained Lifeline volunteers through telephone role-plays or in-room discussions. After you have graduated from the basic training you will undertake an apprenticeship on the Lifeline where you will receive additional support and guidance by experienced trainers and phone counselors.
Then, once you have graduated to a Lifeline Phone Counselor we ask for a 10-hour commitment per month for a minimum of 12 months. This is two four-hour shifts each month at times that suit your schedule and two hours of group support and supervision.
