P2B Volunteer counsellors
At The Place2Be we recognise that, without the commitment and support of our Volunteer Counsellors and clinical staff, we could never deliver our much needed service to the children in the schools in which we work. The Training Department aims to support this commitment by offering relevant free training to all volunteers and clinical staff to help them further develop their therapeutic skills for supporting young children. All the training programmes we offer are experiential in nature and include relevant theory and research.
Our Volunteer Counsellor's training curriculum starts with a compulsory two-day Volunteer Introductory Workshop. There is also a rolling schedule of optional one-day workshops on various aspects of therapeutic support available in all Hubs. These take place on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the school term.
