FriendLine volunteer shares positive impact of connecting with callers

I've been a volunteer on FriendLine for over a year now and I'm so happy I decided to join the team at Friends for Good. I've spoken to so many wonderful and kind people from all over Australia who have shared their stories with me and trusted me with understanding the essence of their lives. I feel so grateful to each caller who has shared their thoughts, experiences and time with me and who have taught me so many valuable things about life. Being on FriendLine has been one of my favourite parts of each week and these connections with callers has had such a positive impact on my well-being and sense of community. I look forward to all of the people I'm yet to speak with and all the conversations I'm yet to have.
