๐ชฉ A dance. They love dancing.
๐จ๏ธ A chat. Is this your first time at a social dance, and is it a bit overwhelming? Did someone make you uncomfortable, or are you now sure about something? Feel free to check in with the care team.
โ๏ธ An answer to your question. They might not know everything, but they know the organisers / teachers / board, so they can help you find someone who knows the answer.
๐ค First aid for physical injuries. The care team volunteer might not be able to do first aid themselves, but they know who does.
๐ฅฐ First aid for emotional wellbeing. Are you having big feelings and want to talk to someone? They are here for you.

๐งโ๐ You follow one training in which an expert will tell you how it all works, and we practice some conversations you might encounter.
๐ฅ You decide when you want to be โonโ or โoff dutyโ by wearing lights at Hopspots, band nights and festivals. Being on duty means that people can approach you with questions and feelings. You can be on duty every week, or only some events, or only a few hours each event – you decide. However, we prefer having people on the care team who attend these events often and are willing to be on duty at least once a month.
