What is the Peer and Family Support Helpline (HL)?
Peer and Family Support Helpline (HL) volunteers are placed in the Helpline area within our administrative office. Volunteers manage incoming calls, email inquiries and monitor online chat sessions. It is NOT a crisis line. Volunteers help with a wide variety of questions associated with the behavioral health system. This makes the Helpline the perfect opportunity for someone who wants to learn as much as possible about the local behavioral health system and how it works while also being a supportive assistant to those in need!
Time Commitment
3 Hours / Week for a 6-month commitment
