  • the differences between a buddy and a friend or a counselor and a volunteer
  • how to be near but to too near
  • know where your limits are
  • how to strengthen your communication skills

How does it work?
We work with video conferencing system Zoom. Before the training your receive instruction per mail how to install Zoom on your computer, laptop or tablet. Before each session you receive an invitation with a link to join the online training.

We start each session with a soundcheck and check in. During the training we work with exercises, sometimes with use of breakout rooms with small groups. Halfway each session there is an intermission. We end each session with a check-out. We ask you to attend the Zoom session with both video and sound on.
