Ying Ying’s Story

Ying Ying experienced difficulties adjusting to a new environment, particularly due to the language barrier, a lack of social support, and difficulty finding a job, resulting in her being diagnosed with depression in 2007.

Ying Ying sought help from EACH in 2013 after a medical staff member referred her. Since one of her family members had a gambling problem and Ying Ying too had experienced gambling-related harm, EACH’s social worker encouraged Ying Ying to join the CPC volunteer team. At first, Ying Ying worked as an administrative assistant and was later trained as a telephone peer support worker. Ying was initially anxious about making calls, but the 6-session training, and support from other volunteers and staff helped her overcome it.

"Whenever I heard my clients saying they are delighted to receive your call, or they feel better talking to me, or they are better now etc.., I would feel happy for them, and in return I am feeling blessed too." - Ying Ying

Ying Ying is very grateful to be a peer support worker at CPC, where she can help others who have experienced similar experiences.

良朋互助義工盈盈的故事⋯⋯

盈盈隨家人移民到了澳洲，適應新環境時遇到好多困難，尤其是語言不通、缺乏社會支持、搵工困難等，導致佢喺2007年被診斷出患有抑鬱症。

2013年，在一位醫務人員轉介之後，盈盈向EACH尋求幫助。 由於她的一位家庭成員有賭博問題，而盈盈也曾遭受過與賭博有關嘅傷害，因此EACH嘅社工鼓勵她加入良朋互助（CPC)義工團隊。 起初，盈盈擔任行政助理，後來接受培訓成為電話朋輩輔導員。最初，盈盈對打電話感到焦慮，但六節課嘅培訓以及其他義工同工作人員嘅支持幫助她克服了焦慮。

盈盈說：“每當我聽到來電者說他們很高興接到我的電話，或者他們覺得和我聊天更好，或者他們現在好多了等等，我都會為他們感到高興，而我自己也感到幸福。 ”

盈盈非常感恩能成為CPC義工，可以幫助有類似經歷嘅人。
