Throughout the last 25 years, the Centre's professional staff have grown. Last year, there were over 5000 counselling sessions. The Centre also has an active public education program that delivered about 200 presentations to schools and community groups. Volunteers are trained over a four week period to deal with crisis phone calls. Lecture and role-play exercises help volunteers to gain essential helping skills.
Volunteers also recieve on-line training.
Training sessions are scheduled five times per year, usually January, March, May, September, and November. Call Dorothy or Connie at 266-1634 for more information. Established in 1983, the Teenline is where a teen with a problem can call and talk to another teen. Sometimes it can seem that an adult might not understand a teen problem. Teenline is the place where teens can talk confidentially about the issues that affect them.
