Resumo: The host organization is an activity house for psychiatric patients who are alcoholics or abusers of medicine, and people who need a place to meet with other people. The age ranges between 20-75 years old, but most people are between 35 and 55 years old. An average week in Sindhuset will have about 60-70 different people visiting the house and the visitors can come without the interference of the authorities and be anonymous.

The organization does no specific therapeutical work or treatment with the visitors. The keywords are presence and being together.

The organization is situated in a small house with our own garden in walking distance from the center of the town. We have two living rooms where we organize activities and spend time together, a small kitchen, an office for the staff and a computer room in the basement. We have a nice garden with a terrace, which we enjoy using during summertime.

Perfil: Age: 17-30

Tarefas: In our project the volunteer will have have the possibility to learn how to be and work with people with different mental and social problems. She/he will learn about different psychiatric diagnosis, reasons for abuse and their reaction patterns, social problems and their effect on the individual. Communication skills will be trained, and the volunteer will have the possibility to plan and run activities according to their interest and special talents.

The volunteer will be offered relevant courses and training. We organize two annual weekend trainings for our Danish volunteers, and all are offered to join courses organised by eg. psychiatric institutions for free. The themes for the trainings could be communication, psychiatric diseases, conflict managing etc. Most trainings will be organized in Danish, so the volunteer most speak at least some to able to benefit from them. Some trainings will be in English.

We will assist the volunteer in creating a personal network in the community. She/he will be invited to our homes and introduced to the possibilities of the area so she/he can join the activities she/he wants. We will help out with learning the language and do whatever we can to make the volunteer feel welcome.

Otherwise the volunteer will join in at the activities assisting the teachers and the other staff members. S/he should take part in planning the programme and feel responsible for getting through the day in a good manner for everybody. Responsibility will be given according to volunteers abilities and wishes, and will progress during the stay.

Horário:
Working hours will be weekdays from 9am to 4pm. One day a week the volunteer will arrive late and stay until 22pm in the evening. We expect the volunteer to work 1 Saturday each month (we plan which day together, so the volunteer can join other weekend activities as wanted). As compensation the volunteer will be given a weekday off. Total working hours will not exceed 35 hours a week.
