Hull and HEY Mind looking for volunteer

Hull and East Yorkshire & North East Lincolnshire Mind Together service provides support to people bereaved by suicide across Hull, East Yorkshire, North East & North Lincolnshire. This service provides individuals with emotional and practical support on a 1:1 basis either face to face in their home/out in the community or through telephone/video calls.  They are looking for volunteers to support this service.

HEY Mind are currently recruiting volunteers to help support the service. In this role, individuals will be supporting clients who have been affected by, witness to or bereaved by suicide.  This would be on a 1:1 basis and predominantly telephone based, however they would also like to provide face to face support.  

The aim as a volunteer is to provide a listening ear without judgement and give support in regard to coping mechanisms/strategies when it comes to the client’s grief journey.

HEY Mind are looking for volunteers who have a strong passion for mental health, and who also may have their own lived experiences of suicide bereavement / bereavement (this is not a requirement).
