Facilitate a Self-Therapy Group – Volunteer Opportunity 5h/week in Summer to Boost Your Impact
Inga,
Apply as a facilitator for our EA mental health summer program in ~20 min here (Application Deadline: 06.08). Spaces are limited.
TL;DR
We (at Rethink Wellbeing) recently announced our online Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Program from August-October 2023. This program is designed to help improve mental wellbeing and productivity for people in the EA community.

Why do it? We offer:
What does the program consist of?
The program is experiential and practice-based; participants will learn through repeated, deliberate practice, so that their new skills can eventually become habitual. We will draw on techniques backed by cutting-edge research, particularly those from the gold standard of third-wave CBT. These techniques can be applied to a variety of target areas: anxiety, low mood, perfectionism, procrastination, self-esteem, productivity, and more. You can learn more about the rationale and background behind our method on our website.
What does the facilitator role involve?

Facilitators will need to create the best possible space for peers to feel comfortable sharing personal experiences, to practice newly learned tools together, to discuss, bond and support each other. You provide the structure and create the atmosphere. This can be an amazing opportunity for self-development and to support your community.
