Are you able to listen but not judge? Can you give information but not advice? Can you spare a few nights every term to support other students?
Edinburgh Nightline is now recuiting student listening volunteers. Nightline is a student listening service which is open at night, when other welfare services are closed, and is run by students. Every night of term, student volunteers answer calls and instant messages from their fellow university students about anything that's troubling them. Nightline offers a safe place to talk about your feelings and whatever's on your mind without fear of being judged.
Why are we telling you this? The college have established a partnership agreement with Nightline so they can provide you as students support through their volunteers! You can contact them Monday to Friday between 8am to 8pm.
Watch out for events coming up in the year, where you can get involved with Nightline, one of which is the training we are advertising in this article!
