Peer Support Volunteers are sought to work on a National Helpline that provides support, information, counselling and referral to people experiencing perinatal anxiety and depression. Volunteers work alongside professional counselling staff to deliver the National Perinatal and Anxiety Helpline service. Volunteers must be parents or grandparents who have had a lived experience of perinatal anxiety and depression (self or carer). All volunteers must be at a point in their personal recovery where they can sufficiently support others. As the training program and Helpline is currently based in North Fitzroy volunteers must live in Victoria. Peer Support Volunteers provide counselling and peer support to expectant parents, new parents, concerned family members and friends and health professionals. Following a supportive 12 week training program (usually held at the start and end of the year), volunteers are required to undertake a three hour shift once per week in the morning or afternoon for a minimum of 12 months. Telephone Support Workers are supported by a team of caring professionals who provide ongoing supervision, support and de-briefing. Professional development opportunities are also available through ongoing seminars and workshops. All applicants will need to attend an individual interview and undertake a police check.
