become a VOLUNTEER
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
For over 55 years, volunteers have been the lifeblood of the Crisis Center. Our dedicated crisis counselors and advocates are thoroughly trained to provide the highest quality of support. What you learn doesn’t just make an impact on our lines and in our SANE clinic – these skills become a resource in your personal life and community.
Crisis Center volunteers are proud advocates for mental health awareness and harm reduction. They support people who are feeling desperate and fearful; provide crisis de-escalation and coping strategies; and share resources for ongoing support and healing.
Want to make a real impact in your community?
Upcoming Training
Please note that attendance at all training classes is essential, and make-up classes for absences are very difficult to arrange. Speak with your Program Coordinator before the onset of training if you believe you might have to miss any of the sessions.
Some volunteer training programs are offered on an ongoing basis; however, the majority of training is scheduled four times a year.
Next Training Dates TBD
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
