NAMI-NYC Seeking Bilingual Helpline Volunteers

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: NAMI-NYC Metro

  • 24 people are interested
Deniece & Kelly/Helpline
Find support, referrals, and information through the NAMI-NYC Helpline.

The NAMI-NYC Helpline provides support, information and referrals to New York City area individuals living with mental illness, their family members, and mental health professionals about services for those who struggle with mental health recovery. This 'warm line' operates 11-6p Mondays through Fridays (volunteer shifts are 3-4 hours/week).

Orientation as a Helpline Volunteer includes:
  • Volunteer begins with studying the Helpline Volunteer Training & Resource Folder, ​learning the ground rules, preparation, and guidelines on becoming an effective Helpline team member.
  • All new Helpline volunteers will spend their first few shifts shadowing experienced volunteers and understanding how to access resources and information that you can share with callers. The shadowing process is extremely important in learning how to receive, process, and log incoming calls and becoming an effective Helpline team member.
  • Because volunteering on the NAMI-NYC Helpline requires specialized training and supervision by a staff member, we ask for a one year commitment

We look forward to joining the NAMI-NYC Family!
