What Is The HelpLine? The NAMI Pomona Valley HelpLine is a free service that provides information, referrals and support to people living with a mental health condition, family members and caregivers, mental health providers, and the public. What Volunteers Do... A well-trained and knowledgeable team of volunteers respond to calls and email inquiries. Staff members and volunteers have experience living with a mental health condition or providing care and support to a family member with a condition, and therefore, better able understand and empathize. HelpLine interns, psychology, social work and counseling students, talk to callers and apply what they’ve learned to real life situations. Volunteers will need to devote at least one day a month to helping answer calls. Volunteers will need to complete a short training.
