Volunteer for Shout
Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do.
As a Shout Volunteer, you will take text conversations with children, young people and adults who are struggling to cope.
You will be supported by Clinical Supervisors as you work to take someone in distress to a calmer moment, empowering them to take their next steps towards feeling better. You'll also have everything you need to signpost texters to ongoing support services.
It is a challenging role as you will be having conversations with people in mental health health crisis, many with suicidal thoughts. But it is also incredibly rewarding - you'll learn new skills that you can use in all walks of life and receive ongoing support from our dedicated Volunteer Support team.
You can also sign up for the webinar we're hosting on Tuesday 11 June from 7pm - 8pm for this year's Big Help Out where you can hear about the Shout Volunteer experience from our Clinical Director Sarah Kendrick. Sarah will be in conversation with Shout Volunteers, talking about the application process, the training programme, the support you'll receive and the experience of taking digital conversations with children, young people and adults who need urgent help with their mental health. A recording will be available after the event if you are not able to attend.
