become a Deep listener
Deep Listeners offers varying levels of commitment so you’re sure to find a way to be involved that you’re comfortable with.
Level One - Member of the Safety Net
For community members who are in a position to support others through deep listening.
Access afforded: Training offered by Deep Listeners to the general community.
Commitment required: Only what is required as a participant in the event/s.
Representation: No membership or representation of Deep Listeners.
Level Two - Member of the Collective
For those who want to be part of Deep Listeners but not wear the badge or represent Deep Listeners publicly.
Access afforded: All training opportunities, all listener meetups, debriefing and mentoring support, peer support network membership.
Commitment required: A commitment to uphold the Deep Listeners Code of Ethics and Deep Listeners Guidelines (signed).
Representation: At this level, you will not have a badge and you will not be an official deep listener.
Level Three - Deep Listener
For those who want to go all the way and be an official Deep Listener out in the community. (Some may choose not to be visible and this is a 'quiet listener'.)
Access afforded: All training opportunities, all listener meetups, debriefing and mentoring support, peer support network membership.
Commitment required: A commitment to uphold the Deep Listeners Code of Ethics and Deep Listeners Guidelines (signed). Signing up as a volunteer with The Family Centre (our auspicing organisation), gaining a Working With Children Check and National Criminal History Check (we will only care about things that directly impact deep listening!), and earning the badge through our skills and readiness checks. You’ll also need to commit to keeping in touch with the coordinator and regular attendance at meetups.
Representation: After earning the badge you can identify as a Deep Listener publicly. (Alternatively, at this level you can become a Quiet Listener who chooses to listen discreetly and not be publicly visible.)
