SLV.Global Reviews

“ I have just completed a month with SLV. It was better than I expected, very hands on. We received every support and guidance from the organisers. They offer a great experience for those interested in working in the field of mental health. They are in the process of rebuilding the organisation after being very impacted by Covid and I wish them every success because I believe that they are offering a very worthwhile service. ”

“ This is NOT just a psychology obsessed company, but a company that places enriching the lives of both its service users, community members and volunteers in a positive way at the centre of what it does. ”

“ I worked with a huge range of service users and developed my own skills and confidence. ”

“ The projects equipped me with the skills I will need to become a clinical psychologist; how to run group activities with service users, what activities ate most effective for different types of service users, communication skills, team working skills and confidence. ”

“ I also feel like it would be beneficial to have more informative things, like the field trips, as I feel like I did a lot of arts and crafts, which I loved doing and so did the service users, but I would like to learn more about the theoretical side of things as well as actually doing them. ”

“ Being able to interact with service users whilst also being exposed to the culture and exploring Sri Lanka at the weekends was amazing. ”

“ It was a nice experience to work with people in different age groups, which helped me to understand my strength and weaknesses to work with those people. Preparing and conducting a creative session was not easy, but would be really good once you see service users happy with the plan. ”

“ A particularly positive aspect of the programme is that we were able to plan and deliver project sessions that were tailored to the service users, which aimed to benefit them in some way, especially by improving sensory, motor and social skills, and we could see how they developed week after week. ”

“ Attending the same projects over the course of 4 weeks means that you are able to watch the service users develop their skills and you can see the positive impact you are having on different individuals lives. ”

“ I got the chance to make friends for life, got to experience Balinese culture and also got to have a positive impact in some Service Users Lives. ”
