Just being there sometimes makes all the difference. Call 925.939.1916 extension 2 for information, or use our volunteer registration form. One has to be able to put one's own problems on hold and listen heartfully, nonjudgmentally, and focus entirely on someone else's need. Crisis line volunteers must be 21 years of age or older. Crisis line volunteers are supervised and trained by our crisis line director and crisis line manager, both licensed therapists.
Training is offered four times per year.
The next crisis line training class will begin Monday, April 23 at the agency. Call 925.939.1916 to sign up for the class. More than 80 volunteers provide individual counseling to people mourning the death of a loved one. Counseling is provided in clients' homes and in our Walnut Creek office. Volunteers also lead support groups for grieving children, teens, and adults.
