If you cannot volunteer as a counselor to take calls, we still need your help! Here are the following tasks we need volunteers for: - Creating promo content to advertise the hotline as a resource. This is one of the most essential roles as it’s instrumental in people calling the line and remembering the number. This involves designing and posting graphics to social media and originating catchy slogans to make the number memorable.
- Reviewing confidential transcripts to ensure we are delivering quality and identify room for improvement.
- Outreach and Netowrking: 1) Helping with excel spreadsheets to gather contacts. For instance, you would be given a list of school districts or government agencies to find contact information for to put in an excel sheet. 2) Crafting and/or sending templated emails to contacts.
There is a role for everyone to play in the movement to prevent violence. If the roles above are not a good fit for you, please still reach out. We can put our minds together to brainstorm how you can join our movement as a volunteer and advocate!

About NATIONAL VIOLENCE PREVENTION HOTLINE
Location:
781 KENMOOR AVE SE STE C, GRAND RAPIDS, MI 49546, US
Mission Statement
The Violence Prevention Hotline proposes to provide free, confidential, expert support for people in distress and feeling compelled toward committing acts of violence in the future.
Description
Thinking while angry is not a crime. A person who is isolated and has troubling thoughts may contemplate violence. Is there someone to calm them or who can help dispel the feelings of anger and isolation? Is there someone to help this person before they might act out those troubling thoughts? Yes. The National Violence Prevention Hotline can act as a lifeline for anyone who has violent thoughts. By having an outlet to talk about their thoughts, get proper referrals, and develop a safety plan, a person who is contemplating violence can get back to living their life without harming others. Violence may be prevented. The Hotline may also provide a lifeline for victims of violence who have not yet called the police and are seeking counsel regarding their situation.
