"I find that being there at callers worst time is very rewarding and I have learned so much"

Meet Christine, a volunteer call-taker with Family Lives. Christine lives in Radlett and works as a Lecturer at a local FE college. 

Family Lives support families across the country to work through difficult experiences such as poverty, behavioural problems, relationship stresses, and countless other issues.

"I am currently on my third time of volunteering with FL over a 15 year period. I find that being there at callers worst time is very rewarding and I have learned so much. Family Lives are very friendly; the training great and 3 hours a week a manageable commitment. We don’t need to be ‘experts’ but to listen and encourage callers to reflect. There is always support available".
