SOS Détresse, offers support via telephone and online, and has announced that it is seeking English-speaking volunteers. The plan is to establishment a new English-language helpline service.

For more than 40 years, SOS Détresse has offered anonymous and confidential support to people in Luxembourg., and every year, there are new training courses for people interested in volunteering in the association. Starting this year, SOS Détresse is offering new training courses in English with the aim of introducing an English-language helpline. The training lasts one year and when completed , volunteers agree to field telephone calls two or three times a month and to take part in supervisions and ongoing training on a regular basis.

SOS Détresse is looking to expand its team of volunteers. The COVID-19 health crisis has led to more distress but also higher needs for emotional support and human interactions.

The next training course in English will start on 21 September 2021. Information interviews have already begun.

Anyone interested in becoming a part of the new English-speaking team is invited to contact SOS Détresse via email: volunteering@sosdetresse.lu.
