Hi! My name is Martijn, I am 27 years old and studied Social Work for two years.
Since I studied in the care field and The Guild is close to my heart, I serve as a confidant at The Guild.
I am also a participant at The Guild, so you will see me around on Thursday evenings.
What do I do as a confidant?
You can come to me for a (casual) conversation if you encounter any issues within The Guild.
Here are some key principles for these conversations:
- Everything will remain confidential.
- If I want to share information from our conversation with, for example, the board, I will first ask for your permission.
- If I want to take action based on the information you provide, I will also ask for your permission first.
The main principle is that everything is done in consultation with you, and you maintain as much control as possible over what you bring to me.
This could include filing a complaint about a member, a complaint about the board, or addressing feelings of insecurity.
Are you facing something yourself? Or would you like to request a (casual) conversation? Feel free to contact me via email:
