They get paid for it here. They also do sometimes volunteer some time.
There are peer supports and psych nurses.
Depending upon situation, speak to one or another.
I've just met a peer support that I just really 'clicked' with and it's like I've got a new friend, and she's gettin' paid! She says she feels the connection too. Reminds me, prayer 4her 2night fearing 6hr flight Oahu.
So I think, someone like Phillipa would make a very good support person for a warmline (usually 5p to 11p) or hotline (24-7). What about me? U guys can tell me the truth. Am I too sensitive?
What would the qualities need be wonder and wonder if you'd receive free training.
This is something a lot of us could maybe think about doing that need some more income.
