Volunteer as a listener

Make a difference in people’s lives when they are distressed, in crisis
or feeling suicidal.

• Receive nationally certified training that will prepare you to be a more empathetic listener.
• Learn communications skills that will prove valuable to you in any situation in your life.
• Become part of a supportive community of volunteers – all making a difference.
• Feel great about yourself.

Research shows a decrease in feelings of emotional distress and suicide both during and following calls to a crisis hotline, with continuing decreases in crisis states, hopelessness and psychological pain in the following weeks.
