hello@liberty
i have only just logged in.
so sorry that noone else has seen your post yet.
possibly has something to do with the time of year. i am not sure if there are moderators rostered on during this period or not.
i did do some volunteer work but not in the field of mental health. i would love to be able to, however i am too unwell and also take on others' pain.
i volunteered at an information centre until my illness worsened. I found that very interesting and i have always worked with people within my career.
It would be a very rewarding job if you are able to separate the work and your life.
i wish you every success if you choose to give it a try or even if you decide on something else, there are many volunteer options.

Sane is often looking for speakers as part of its Mindful Employer Program. Might be worth looking into if you like public speaking.
