Would you like to give back to California's Central Valley? Come be part of a team that quite literally saves lives every day! Central Valley Crisis & Suicide Prevention Hotline (CVSPH) volunteers bring hope to people who are going through extremely difficult times in their lives by simply answering the phone.
Volunteers get the opportunity to:
- make a difference to the people in their community and beyond!
- learn how to respond in crisis situations
- be a supportive voice to those in need
- reach out to the Central Valley community through events and community activities
- offer life-changing resources to those who call the hotline
- receive extensive crisis and suicide intervention training
- talk to individuals from all walks of life and all over the world!
- put a smile on the faces of people who couldn't think of a reason to smile before!
All volunteers take a minimum 40 hours of training and make a 6 month commitment of 4 hours per week with the hotline when training is complete. Bilingual speakers are strongly encouraged to reach out! CVSPH is also looking for volunteers who are willing to help the Administrative Specialist with tasks in the administrative capacity.
As it does take a special person to take hotline calls, CVSPH does look to the volunteer pool first when a paid position has opened up.

About Kings View Behavioral Health Systems

Mission Statement
To provide community mental health and social services to those with limited resources, and to do so in the spirit of Christ's example of love, compassion and respect for all persons.
Description
Kings View's primary area of service is Central and Northern California, concentrating on providing services to individuals that are unserved or underserved as a result of geographical location, financial limitations, or lack of understanding and awareness.
Our goal is to contribute to the wellbeing of patients and clients served by being attentive to their needs for wholeness (body, mind and spirit). Kings View has close historical and current connections with the Mennonite faith community and is a sponsoring member of Mennonite Health Services Alliance ( www.mhsonline.org) , a national organization of health care providers.
Kings View is committed to providing the highest quality of professional services possible. This is achieved by attracting excellent staff and organizing our programs with the intent of meeting the needs of our patients and clients. Kings View services are provided largely through contracting with other health providers, county behavioral health departments, regional centers serving developmentally disabled, and other public agencies.
Kings View philosophy regarding community health care is centered on the concept of collaboration with other community health care providers and agencies. The resulting expectation is the creation of quality care that is accessible to those in need while maximizing the use of limited resources. In so doing, the hope is that those being served can attain their maximum potential for wellness and quality of life.
