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.

Volunteer in other ways

If being a listener isn’t for you, you can help people in crisis in a number of others ways, including marketing and fundraising.

• Spread the word about us and bring in life-saving resources through our fundraising efforts.
• Join best-in-class professionals in overseeing award-winning programs through our Quality Assurance Committee.
• Or simply donate. Just $15 pays for one call or text to Caring Contact.
