Individual emotional support • Sensitive, understanding approach that helps individuals accept and deal with their problems • Enabling a person to communicate their anxieties and fears in safe environment; derive comfort from a caring educated person; and increase their ability to care for themselves

  4. Problems: • Lot of people still sees need for emotional support as a sign of weakness • Education of our volunteers • Boundaries • Usually short term
