Stepfamily Helpline: 0845 122 8655

WELCOME

Stepfamily Scotland understands the problems that stepfamilies face.  If you are in a stepfamily already, or about to become part of one, Stepfamily Scotland can provide helpful advice and support.  If you feel you would like to talk to someone who will listen, be non-judgemental and provide you with some support call the Stepfamily Scotland Helpline on 0845 122 8655.

 

Stepfamily Scotland is now recruiting volunteers

 

to work on the Stepfamily Scotland helpline.  The helpline is open five days a week during working hours, and applicants must be able to commit to a minimum of two hours of volunteering per week.

 

The helpline training course is the COSCA accredited counselling skills course.  It will start on 30th September 2008 and will involve a commitment of one day a week until mid March.  With the trainers' approval, you would start work on the helpline in January/February.
