LIFELINE MACARTHUR'S TELEPHONE COUNSELLING COURSE

Lifeline Macarthur is calling on members of the local community to become part of its life
saving course.

Last year Lifeline Macarthur's Volunteer Telephone Counsellors received over
18,000 calls on a wide range of issues.

Lifeline's Telephone Counsellors are people from all walks of life, like you, who have chosen to
undergo an intensive and practical Training Program with Lifeline.

Volunteers care about our community and want to give something back.

 The course covers self awareness and basic counselling skills required to become a telephone counsellor.
It includes specific social issues people are dealing with such as grief and loss, mental health,
family and relationships and suicide.

Training involves participants getting to know themselves by exploring their own value and
belief systems and journaling their pathway of learning into gaining awareness of their own
responses and reactions to situations and issues.

Trainees who complete all the phases are accredited as fully trained Telephone Counsellors.
