ONLINE Foreign Women's Support Line Volunteer Training Course in English

Support volunteers support foreign women online by talking on the phone, chatting on a chat or answering questions which have been sent by email.

If you can’t join the course every time, you can watch a recording afterwards. We recommend that you will participate in the Active Listening Skills course online because it includes some exercises with a partner.
