If you are passionate about making a difference in helping women who are dealing with depression, this is the work for you!

ThroughBlue www.throughblue.org.nz is a long-established (20 years) Wellington peer support group geared towards assisting women to learn self-help strategies for overcoming depression.

We welcome counsellors who have their own private practice and would be interested in augmenting their case-load by facilitating this once weekly, online 2 hour peer support group.

Counsellors from anywhere in New Zealand are welcome to apply. Although ThroughBlue is Wellington-based, the group is run entirely online, so the role can be facilitated remotely from anywhere in the country.

ThroughBlue is peer-run, so a successful facilitator will demonstrate willingness to collaborate and discuss procedures with the board and the group members.

The contract requires a facilitator with:

• Experience in counselling (preferably running support groups).
• A woman (as this is a support group for women only) with a mature & sensitive outlook.
• An understanding of group process; education, therapy, and community.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
• Applicants must either be current members of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors, or have a Certificate of Registration from the Psychologists Board.

Facilitators applying for this contract must have NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa.
