Are you compassionate and a good listener? Do you want to empower others in their recovery? The WA Warm Line offers phone based peer support to people living with an emotional or mental health condition using the principles of recovery to enhance the well-being of callers. Warm Line calls are answered by people who are living with a mental health condition and who want to share their experience to empower others. The Warm Line is peer advised, supported by Crisis Connections, formerly known as Crisis Clinic, with professional training, mentorship and on-going volunteer support services. We are actively expanding and looking for volunteers interested in volunteering in the afternoon on weekdays though other shifts are available.
