Volunteer psychologists are holding individual sessions, group sessions, movie clubs and team-building trainings at the facilities of the Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta. Their presence may not only result in positive changes in the lives of clients, but may also strengthen these young people in their role as psychologists.
On the weekends we held tournaments and story telling time in Ócsa, we took part in enlightening and motivating discussions with our tutoring volunteers, and concerning our volunteer psychologists program, we asked the young volunteers to share their experiences.
Evening programs of volunteer stories and exchanges of experiences, a barbecue in a boathouse, board game party, quiz night and team building games in the youth office. There was no shortage of community programs this month, while the volunteer psychologists, the tutors and the members of the Ócsa team enthusiastically dedicated themselves to their tasks.
An international workshop, a tutoring program, volunteer psychologists from the side of the institution’s leaders, talent show at Ócsa, quiz night, teambuilding and social events – these were the happenings of the Budapest Malteser Youth group during the month of March.
Long planning, looking into the needs, application process and preparation training – all these steps had to be fulfilled before the new program has recently started. Arriving to the practical phase from the preparatory work, 24 psychologists started to work at the institutions of the Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta in the central Hungarian region from January.
