The Contact Hotline is a safe place to talk. It provides free, confidential, 24-hour service for anyone who is depressed, in crisis, going through a hard time, thinking about suicide, or just needs to hear a caring voice.
We’re looking for people to answer the call. Our volunteers have an open mind, open heart, and a willingness to listen. We’ll train you to respond to callers, regardless of their age, issue, or emotional state. Most calls are not suicide-related.
Our Hotline training teaches active listening skills, crisis and suicide risk assessment, and prepares volunteers to intervene in an emergency.
