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
Other Burnout Cafés are currently led by a moderator. You should be interested in preparing, conducting and following up on the meetings together. There are also a few organizational tasks.
