Listeners must engage in the Listener Preparation Programme. It is an activity that takes about 3-months to complete and has two stages. The initial period is done on weekends – Friday Evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays full day sessions. Following the completion of the initial preparation, volunteers can become Helpers who support the Listeners by volunteering 4-6 hours per week with one overnight per month.
