It\u2019s important to check in on family and friends and ask if they\u2019re okay \u2013 but do you know how to respond if the answer is no?<\/p>\n

Free training is on offer in February for eligible Moorabool Shire and Hepburn Shire community members, to learn how to be an \u2018accidental counsellor\u2019.<\/p>\n

Provided by Lifeline Ballarat, the course will consist of 90 minutes of e-learning, and a 4-hour online workshop conducted via Zoom.<\/p>\n

Attendees will learn how to recognise the signs of someone needing support, learn skills to support someone when they are upset, learn how to respond with kindness, and how to provide support whilst taking care of yourself.<\/p>\n

To make sure the sessions provide the most benefit to Moorabool and Hepburn Shires, first preference will be given to members and leaders of community groups such as sports clubs, religious groups, and volunteers.<\/p>\n

Expressions of interest are now open for submission, with two possible workshop dates \u2013 Wednesday 16 February, and Friday 25 February.<\/p>\n

To access the Expression of Interest Form, visit Moorabool Shire Council\u2019s Facebook page and search \u201cAccidental Counsellor\u201d.<\/p>\n
