Crisis Clinic Volunteers

Since 1972, the Crisis Clinic of Thurston and Mason Counties has been the community's crisis line, providing anonymous, judgment-free, compassionate support to anyone in Thurston or Mason Counties who are struggling and looking for support. Each year, more than 10,000 people reach out to us, and every one of those calls is answered by a trained community volunteer. Many of the people we serve are families navigating mental health challenges, and the support they receive can make a profound difference during some of the hardest moments of their lives.

We are hosting a series of information sessions for individuals interested in becoming Crisis Line volunteers, and we would be so grateful to share that opportunity with your congregation. Volunteering with us requires no prior mental health experience, and the training we provide equips volunteers with skills in active listening and de-escalation that carry far beyond their service on our phone line. Many of our volunteers tell us that the training and time with us has changed how they show up for and support the people in their lives, whether at home, in their community, or in their professional work.
