Have you always wanted to help those struggling, those in crisis, but do not know where to start or you don’t have the training to help?
We’ve got you covered!
The Crisis Line is accepting potential volunteers for training:
- June 22 2020 we will be emailing out the modules that need to be reviewed for the weekly zoom meetings
- Zoom training sessions will be on Tuesday and Thursday evenings
Please contact reception@cmhakootenays.org to register.
Trained Crisis Line volunteers can help with a variety of mental health issues such as suicide risk, stressors in relationships, and domestic violence. What determines a crisis depends on the individual, and we recognize that not all people deal with life’s stressors in exactly the same ways.
Crisis Line volunteers are available to listen, help problem solve, and help make connections to community resources in the East Kootenay region.
Last year, the Crisis Line responded to more than 4000 crisis calls. That’s more than 330 calls a month.
