About the volunteering opportunity
The self-help groups, we call them Other Burnout Cafés (ABCs), are solution-oriented self-help groups, i.e. they have a special aspect: we enable the participants to have a topic-centered self-awareness. Each evening has a special theme. See also ww.bvbud.de or our page http://anderes-burnout-cafe.de.
Your task is the (co-)moderation of the meetings. To do this, we support you with event notes and with guides for the events, each of which introduces the topic and describes the exercises. This will significantly shorten your preparation time. If you can contribute additional exercises, that would be great.
Your involvement will increase your competence and broaden your coaching experience.
If you are or have been affected by burnout and depression, your involvement will help you in your development.
Your Tasks
Some ABC - Other Burnout Cafés are currently led by a moderator. The ABCs usually take place once a month for about 2.5 hours and you should have the desire to prepare, conduct and follow-up the meetings together. In addition, there are a few organizational tasks all in all about 1 day per month effort.
