I assume this work is voluntary? What kind of training/interview process do they have? I'd be no good I am not very patient with people! :roll:

[Tara]

yep voluntary - its a 3 month training programme over 2 nights a week then you'll be mentord then become a probabtionary which means you work along side another volunteer for a few months then thats it - you go on regular training meetings to handle different situations - i didn't think i was very patient but one of my colleagues has just said that i'm a good listener and they don't know what i'm doing. the whole thing is completely confidential i won't be able to discuss anything with Falc or anyone

[DanAbnormal]

the whole thing is completely confidential i won't be able to discuss anything with Falc or anyone

That will be the hardest thing. Hence why I am not a geovernment secret agent, I have to be able to share everything with Nicki. Well good on you, takes a certain kind of person to be able to do that job. I'm a good listener when I'm sleeping! :wink:

[Viney]

Can you do one thing. When some poor sole decides he/she wants to end thier life, can you ask them NOT to jump in front of trains. Its selfish and causes major disruption ;)

Other than that, well done T. Its an admirable thing to do.

[Tara]

Thanks V

Mmm the not being able to tell falc everything will be hard but i reckon i can do it i can only try

[falc]

I shall try not to pester you about and if you start talking about I can always stick my fingers in my ears and sing the national anthem loudly

[DanAbnormal]
