How to Volunteer for Depression.pk

The training every volunteer does before they answer anybody. How to listen without judging, what to say and what never to say, where your limits are, what to do when somebody is in danger, and the rules we all work to.

Who it is for: Anyone applying to volunteer with us, and anyone who wants to be better at sitting with a friend who is struggling.
