NYC volunteers for in-the-field mental health support for Refugee Support Project - bilingual is a plus

In light of the horrific war in Ukraine and the ongoing migration crisis at the US borders, PPSC (Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center) mobilized to form the PPSC Refugee Support Project, a group of volunteers throughout the mental health and lay community to provide crisis and support services to refugees, their families and service providers impacted.

PPSC Refugee Support Project is now looking for NYC volunteers for in-the-field mental health support:

1. Care Coordinators to meet with, provide screenings and referral sources for clients at our partner organizations. Volunteers will be trained and oriented for assisting with these tasks.

2. Therapists and counselors to lead and co-lead client support groups. Volunteers with group experience required to lead, co-leaders will be trained by senior group leaders.

Bilingual Spanish-English or French-English Volunteers are especially encouraged to apply

Commitments for both roles can range from 2-3/hours per week or 2-3 bi-weekly.
