FAQ

Frequently asked questions about trauma worker training

What is the content of the training?

The training lasts several training days.
During this time we will introduce you to the topic of trauma through different approaches: how trauma can occur, what consequences traumatized people suffer from and how effective physical exercises can be to help traumatized people. This will help you become more familiar with the topic and prepare you for your role as a first aider.

What exactly does trauma help look like?

Organizations or individuals can contact the ArrivalAid . We place our volunteers according to the wishes of the person seeking help. For example, we try, if possible, to offer help in the native language of those affected.
Our offer of help usually takes place over several meetings; whether online or offline, you as the helper decide together with the person concerned.
Before you go on your first assignment as a volunteer, we will sit down with you again to clarify questions, discuss concerns and repeat parts of the content if you would like. We also discuss things after the assignment to make sure that you, as a helper, are in good hands.
It is always very important: pay attention to yourself and your limits. We are there for you if you get stuck.

What happens after the training?

It's simple: After the training, we can welcome you to our network, with social events, supervision and everything else.

From this point onwards, when appropriate assignments occur, we will ask you whether you currently have the capacity to take on a case. If the time doesn't fit, that's no problem. Just let us know, maybe it will work next time.

What is the scope of volunteer work in trauma help?

Volunteering lasts for a minimum of 12 months so that you can gain experience and familiarize yourself well as a helper.

We would be happy if you showed commitment, because every help is valuable and is urgently needed! If circumstances temporarily prevent you from volunteering, that's not so bad. Just let us know when you can help again.

Good knowledge of Zoom available

That's how I found out about ArrivalAid

Obligation of confidentiality*

The first aider maintains confidentiality about matters that are entrusted to him/her in the course of their voluntary work. This applies in particular to information about people being cared for. Without the permission of ArrivalAid , the first aider may not provide themselves or others with knowledge, copies, images or replicas of processes within the scope of their work.

I agree to the confidentiality agreement.

Data protection*

All of the Trauma Help volunteers' personal data provided in this form will be stored in order to enable appropriate mediation depending on the language and type of deployment. As part of the placement for first aid operations, once volunteers agree to an appointment, the names, languages, email addresses and, if applicable, the gender of the volunteers are passed on to the cooperating partners. All partners undertake to treat the data received as strictly confidential. The data from the assignments taken over (location, type of deployment, language of deployment and date of deployment) are evaluated anonymously for the purpose of measuring success and acquiring funding. The evaluation is carried out electronically. Volunteers have the right to revoke their consent at any time with future effect. The stored personal data will be deleted if the volunteer has withdrawn their consent to storage in writing. As a result, volunteer work with Trauma Help can no longer take place. In addition, personal data will be deleted if its storage is not permitted for other legal reasons.

I accept the privacy policy.
