Job Description: Each volunteer will be paired with a cohort member to provide individualized coaching in storytelling in English. Coaching can be conducted in person (if possible) or virtually in addition to the weekly group session. The volunteers will get dedicated virtual sessions to help them on how to coach the participants from a professional institution. Requirements • Language Proficiency: Proficiency in English is required. Knowledge of Arabic at any level is preferred but not mandatory. • Dedication and consistency: You'll need to make sure you can commit to meeting your matched participant in a 1:1 session at least once a week.
We are seeking volunteers with experience in psychiatry, therapy, or trauma-informed care to support an individual recovering from post-war PTSD symptoms. The person is doing everything they can to return to normal life, but the psychological burden is evident. They do not identify their symptoms as a mental health issue and would likely decline direct therapeutic support. Because of this, the volunteering role is built around natural, human-level interaction rather than formal therapy. Volunteers will provide: • Informal conversational support framed as English-language practice. • Calm, grounded presence to help the individual regulate and reconnect with daily life. • Trauma-aware communication that maintains dignity and avoids triggering terminology.
