ANNOUNCEMENT: We're looking for you!
We are continually seeking volunteer phone counselors for our 24-hour crisis line. No counseling experience necessary. We provide an extensive, free training for all our volunteers, by building the skills necessary to provide intervention services for people in crisis at the time of their greatest need. By providing non-judgmental, person-centered counseling to our communities, you are helping to reduce discrimination around mental health and fostering hope to those in a suicidal crisis.
