I started volunteering at The Turning Point over 2 years ago and I'm so glad I decided to do so. I love The Turning Point, what they do, and what they stand for. The training is everything you need to help survivors and the help they provide to those who need it is the most thorough and efficient. This isn't for the faint of heart and dealing with something so heavy isn't for everyone but if this is something you're passionate about, volunteers are given the tools and opportunity to make a real difference. From crisis calls to hospital visits, it's intense but the most rewarding experience. There is definite flexibility as far as weekends and evenings and the staff is great. I'm actually picking up a shift this Friday and I heard classes start soon...
