Welcome to Certified Listeners Society
We’re here to listen to you, support you, and guide you in the right direction.
What we do
We are an Emotional Support Chat Centre. Feeling down and need to connect to someone? Our Certified Listeners are here to listen, support you, and guide you in the right direction.
Connect for free with the first available Certified Listener. All of our Certified Listeners are volunteers and have been trained and meet our Core Competencies and abide by our Code of Ethics.
Emotional Support
What is an Emotional Support Chat Centre? We compliment the work done by Distress Call Centres and Crisis Call Centres. We cater to people who need emotional support before they are in either distress or crisis.
We believe that by providing early-stage and real-time interventions to the masses, we can help individuals make better mental health lifestyle choices to live better, happier, healthier lives.
This is what our volunteers have to say about our training programs.

This was a bit of a long training process for me as I work during the day so I had to make sure I had time for the training. But I loved that I could do it all at my own pace and that the system is so easy to use and is very user friendly. Thank you for everything!

There are a few considerations here: i) you provide your trainees with a literacy quiz that is not only intimidating but also contradictory due to the illiteracy throughout the videos and quizzes; ii) your organization benefits from donations directly deposited via certified listeners volunteers, an alternative consideration will be to encourage your volunteers to raise donations within their community; iii) during the interview process, the interviewee discloses the $90 cover fee for training and I’m not sure why this mentioned and or why $90 suffices. This technique may make others feel as if your company is doing something “above and beyond” for their volunteers and may, in turn, make the individual applying for the position to feel as if they owe the company back (the donation). Food for thought 🙂

These training videos were well done! They were simplistic, helpful and easy to access. I like that these are also on YouTube for referencing if needed. When I needed help with questions, I was able to get a quick email response to move forward. Highly recommended.

The process of becoming a certified listener has been very simple but also very valuable. Going through the training and process has taught me many things which I never knew and been of great help to me in growing as a person. I hope to grow even further as I volunteer for certified listeners 🙂
