‘Volunteers need to take care too’

Befrienders volunteers have been busy helping others in distress during the pandemic and may be in danger of burnout.

WHILE the volunteers behind Befrienders work to help others and reach out to those in despair, it is vital for them to take care of themselves too.

Befrienders Penang patron Tan Lean Kee said the volunteers carry on their noble work with determination and compassion but their own physical, emotional and spiritual well-being is equally important.
