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.

Hey! The practical chatroom training was really helpful. One thing I would suggest – when I initially signed up for an earlier date, I missed the training because I didn’t realize it was 11:00 EST. This wasn’t stated on the appointment calendar, or in the automated email. I only found out in the email that I got on the day of the training and after I had missed the session. It would really benefit volunteers across Canada in different timezones. Other than that, no complaints!

The training session was very effective and engaging, but at some point it felt like there was a lot of information to understand at once. However, I believe after more training and practice I would get used to everything. Thank you.

It is distracting to have the pop up chat constantly flashing throughout the training. Also, there were a number of typos, which should be updated.

I liked very much all the contents during the program but I would like to recommend some changes like, monitor the potential volunteer during his/ her path in the training and include more interactive resources rather than videos on Youtube.

It was a real life experience acquired taking this course. The lessons content were both educational and practically inspiring. Not only did I learn what it takes to be supportive for those in an emotional situation, the lessons were a value added to my life vision. I do recommend the certified listeners course to whatsoever.

I absolutely loved the training. Even before I knew I was accepted to be a Certified Listener, I thoroughly enjoyed working through the modules as they had information I could use in everyday life. One lesson in particular that I enjoyed was the Active Listening lesson.
