HELPLINE (CHAT & TEXT) CRISIS SUPPORT SPECIALIST TRAINING
Begins August 20, 2025
This training is mixed with self-paced on-line learning and six once per week, peer-to-peer online/in person sessions.
Volunteers assist chat and text visitors with emotional support and resource advocacy. All assistance is via phone text apps or a computer and volunteer time is chosen by individual volunteers. Helpline chat & text CSS's must meet certain qualifications (including a background check), interview, and complete the 40 hour, virtual, and self-paced training. See first hand what a typical crisis support specialist shift looks like here.
