Hi @defaultusername I don’t think we’ve met before, but it’s great to see you back here again!! I hope these past few months have been treating you well 💕

Welcome back @defaultusername 

How is your course going? Have you just started this last term too? I am really pleased and relieved to have the first term pretty much behind me. We just have to make it to the 12th April and then we have 2 weeks off.

Congrats @Oaktree ! 

What did you find was the most helpful as part of your course so far?

Hey @Oaktree @Blackcloud @defaultusername @Shaz51 @MJG017 and others following,

Here is an example of a Community Builder job on the forums (Peer work): https://www.seek.com.au/job/83024669?ref=cm-ui

Hey @tyme 

I would love to apply! but it seems that according to the requirements, it requires a bachelor’s degree in psychology/social work/mental health or a related field which I haven’t done nor obtained..

However, I’ve had prior experience with volunteering (not working) as a community builder in another mental health forums but that only lasted for about a bit over a year - so it seems that I wouldn’t be qualified for that either. oh well.. 🙃

Though I’m looking forward to my training soon for this volunteer role I’ve just applied for a few days ago, which is the crisis supporter role at a crisis support service.

I guess my idea of sharing is so that you know what's 'out there' @Blackcloud and if it's something you are interested in, then it helps you know what you need to work towards.

Hope you have been well. I've missed you! We can join the Sunday chat tonight.

@tyme I'm not sure if I'm able to join the tonight's chat. But if I'm able to otherwise, then I'll definitely be there! 🙂

All good. Just know you are invited @Blackcloud !

Amazing @Shaz51 ! Your experience is invaluable.  Would you consider a Peer Work Cert in the future?
