By volunteering in Kids First NEW family transport support program, you will be providing a warmer and more supportive environment for our clients attending counselling appointments at our two main offices (Thomastown and Heidelberg).

Volunteers will receive training to inform them of the kind of work we do and what the clients might be experiencing, and what to do if clients may be upset or distressed after an appointment. Training will cover: validating client’s feelings if they talk about their session, strong boundaries (redirecting to worker, debriefing with Kids First staff if needed), communication and listening skills, trauma and it's impacts, basic mental health first aid.

Volunteers will use Kids First fleet cars- no need to use your personal vehicle.

Are you empathetic, have great interpersonal skills and strong professional boundaries? Get involved today!
