Seeking help when you are experiencing hardship is not easy. We know there are many people looking for help, but they don’t always know where to start. Ask Izzy Connect training develops the capability and confidence to support people experiencing hardship by connecting them with the right support services that can help them.
In this training you'll learn how to:
- Recognise people experiencing vulnerability and hardship
- Respond to someone who shares something challenging with you
- Refer people to appropriate support and professional help using tools such as Ask Izzy.
- Reflect on your interactions and how to protect your own mental health and wellbeing
There are two parts to Ask Izzy Connect:
Part 1 - Self guided pre-reading. Prior to the workshop, we'll send you Part 1 of the training -Recognise. Part 1 involves a collection of slides and videos and should take you no more than 30 minutes to complete.
Part 2 - Online interactive workshop delivered by our expert trainers (2hrs).
Who is this training for:
We designed this training specifically for “accidental counsellors” working or volunteering in community groups and associations, welfare organisations, church and civic groups or community legal and health services, along with community leaders, community services students and people in other community-facing roles that support people experiencing hardship.
Ask Izzy Connect is beneficial for anyone who works or volunteers in a frontline facing role and encounters people experiencing vulnerability and hardship who may need health and wellbeing support.
Eligibility:
- Free for people who work in a community or volunteer role.
